How To Make A Grown Man Cry
Last night, I Tam was wandering around causing trouble as normal. Me, on the other hand, I was washing up and doing dinner. When Tam is "behaving" (being quiet and not breaking something) I tend to let her get on with it - she was "singing" in the dining room while I was at the other end in the kitchen.
"Daddy!"
I turn around to find this:
That's the Peanut, wearing a school dress that was put away for her many moons ago. And for some reason, it really choked me up. I thought of Bethy wearing a school dress (not that she ever did, it was too cold for her when she was in school!), and I realised how quickly Tam is growing up, that she will be in school too, and that she doesn't live with me any more...
I gave her lots of cuddles, sat her on the side next to me, and carried on doing dinner with a few sad little tears running down my face...
