Ah so very loving and tender.
Thanks, Gilly. I’ve always loved that photo.
I just realised the baby is you?
Yes! Lol … it’s me.
Lisa, such a beautiful photo, conjuring up nothing but warm and fuzzy feelings. Love the straw hat your dad’s wearing, and you, in your bonnet, look so very cute!
Thanks Monica. I’m told I wouldn’t tolerate hats much beyond 3 months old, though. 🙂
Such a sweet photo. Dads are so so amazing. 🙂
Thanks Amelia. Yes, they are!
i am a hands-on dad to 3 biracial kids. im caucasian and my wife is a Thai. being in an intercultural marriage, cultural differences can sometimes get in the way of parenting but i would alwyas decide for what is best for my children. sadly, cultural conflicts are real and cultural differences can even lead to divorce in Thailand http://www.thailand-family-law-center.com/?p=82
It certainly changes him, but not always in a positive way. In the photo above, I can see affection, tenderness and love ❤
Thanks Nikky … affection, tenderness and love: three things you and your children deserve and three things I wish for you all. ❤
