The greatest reward of fatherhood for me is simply watching my son smile at me. In life I cherish the subtle moments more than any of the major ones. The rationale is simple; for every major milestone we reach there is an expectation to celebrate them all with good reason. But I live life for the intimate moments...the moments that can slip past us if we are not aware...the moments that seem so ordinary to us until one day we wake up yearning to relive them again.
