I know of no greater pleasure or feeling than when I arrive home from work and my kids come running to greet me. Young or old, tall or short. Mostly it’s the short ones who come running. The older kids tend to be into whatever girl teens are into. I love to hear the “Daddy” and the tap tap tap of their feet down the hall or sidewalk. Most often they even make it all the way to me and I get to pick up a bundle of love and joy, get 2 seconds of lovin and then get the wiggle and “down” commanding her release. Makes my day.
The other day I came in the front door and their mom told them I was home and tap tap tap come those feet. I left the front door open and opened my arms. Tap tap tap and on by me they go running to make it out the front door before someone closes the opening. Little did I know that I was the consolation prize to not being able to make it outside before I closed the door to then turn around and greet my family. Gives new meaning to “oh what a feeling”. Now I feel like buying a car for some reason.
