6,510 | daddit | Way late comment, just going through random subreddits. Damnit. I'm 17 years old and I need to start stepping up my lifegame. You have raised a beautiful person. |
6,511 | daddit | I know this post is pretty late, but I wanted to give you a bit of encouragement. Small acts of service have a deeper impact than you realize. The one that stuck out to me was the shot of the princess lunchbox. I'm sure you two probably had a good laugh about it, but that fact that you took the time to pack his lunch means more than he probably now realizes. My father passed away a few years ago, way too early into my young adult life. Of the many ways he loved me, one thing that stuck with me was the fact that he never failed to pack my lunch before work. I never asked him to, and I would have gladly done it myself, but he was acting selflessly. That had a huge impact on my life, just that simple act of service. Now that he's passed away, I'll never forget that love he showed, and I intend on caring that service onto my future family and others. Sorry for getting really emotional. But I just wanted to point out that small acts of love will really add up over time. It will be shown back to you in more ways than you could imagine. Maybe not now while he's still young, but it will happen eventually. Just wanted to encourage you. You guys seem like a really loving family, and he seems like a great big brother. |
6,512 | daddit | You guys are all awesome. I enjoyed that glimpse into your lives very much. Please tell your son to go here and pick through some drumming stuff so he has things to play with as he develops his guitar technique. http://ccmixter.org/people/BillRayDrums |
6,513 | daddit | Question for OP! Are you aware how valuable and rare your son's guitar is? For anyone that doesn't know the Ovation GP was Ovation's attempt at a Gibson Les Paul, but in my opinion they far surpassed the Les Paul in quality and playability. They were only in production for a few years in the 80s and it is estimated that there were fewer than 800 ever made. This is my DREAM guitar haha. I would give anything to get one but they typically go from $2,000 all the way up to $5,000 if they are in good condition. They became really popular lately because the guitarist/frontman of Queens of The Stone Age has been playing them since the 90s. They are SUCH awesome guitars and I'm really jealous of your son! I should also say that the photo of your little daughter kissing your son is the most adorable thing I've ever seen! source for reference. http://www.junkguitars.com/stories/ovation.html |
6,514 | daddit | Looks like everybody hit the jackpot when your roads crossed. This is great to see! |
6,515 | daddit | I'm a grown man, but I cried the whole way through this album. Thanks so much for your commitment to your son, and for sharing with us. |
6,516 | daddit | Amazing! I want to adopt, but my in laws just aren't on board. They told me an adopted child would never love us like our own. Clearly, they are wrong. |
6,517 | daddit | Being adopted myself, I thank you for providing your son with a loving home. |
6,518 | daddit | This has got to be the best of the Internet today...what it is too see a family with so much love that you conquered all of the adoption issues that came with that. You Sir, are a good man! |
6,519 | daddit | Dude this is so awesome. |
6,520 | daddit | I like the comment about "I look cut" - hilarious! Wonderful pics, thanks for being there for your son. |
6,521 | daddit | What a great album. That kid is mighty talented, glad to know he found a wonderful family that would let him shine. |
6,522 | daddit | You are obviously wonderful parents and were blessed with a wonderful kid. The world needs more people like you, who are invested in giving back and not just out for their own success or so self centered that they don't realize what an impact they could make with a little bit of love. |
6,523 | daddit | You and your son are amazing people. |
6,524 | daddit | Thanks for sharing this. What a great kid he's turning to be. Though this apple is not from your orchard, it's a testament to what great parenting can do to a child. Cheers! |
6,525 | daddit | Now i'm feeling, thanks. |
6,526 | daddit | Thank you so much for sharing this. It really made my day. Looks like you've raised an amazing young man. Thank you for being the father this boy needed. |
6,527 | daddit | Congrats, for both you and your kid. |
6,528 | daddit | This made my morning. |
6,529 | daddit | Thank you for sharing these. You may have just pushed me to adopt a son instead of chancing another girl. I love my daughters with every ounce of my being, but I want to have a son someday. My wife is not very excited about carrying again, but we have discussed adopting. I can only imagine the moments where there weren't pictures taken, keep living an awesome life, sir. |
6,530 | daddit | Bless you, bless him, bless your whole family. :D |
6,531 | daddit | Im 20 years old and Am crying in my apartment alone. Good job buddy keep it up, we need more fathers like you |
6,532 | daddit | It's clear that you love your son and take pride in his accomplishments. It's so sweet and heartwarming to see, really. |
6,533 | daddit | Awesome set of pics! Also Yay Delaware! |
6,534 | daddit | Congrats to the man! That is some dedication. But why did he have to lose the hair? :( |
6,535 | daddit | He seems like an incredible person, not just a great kid. You did a wonderful thing giving him a home and you've done a hell of a job raising him. Thank you for this album. I enjoyed seeing him grow up, and with two little ones at home, i found it inspiring. |
6,536 | daddit | You are a great dad. |
6,537 | daddit | What a fantasitc album. I had so much fun looking at this! |
6,538 | daddit | Gawd. Didn't Reddit for the feels but I'm a hot mess in the coffee shop after this. Thank you so much for sharing. Very heart warming. |
6,539 | daddit | Man, I was expecting a sad ending. |
6,540 | daddit | I think you mean you "rescued" him. |
6,541 | daddit | Way to give a great life! The system eats up so many youths, it's great to see one excelling in What looks like such a loving environment |
6,542 | daddit | This is so awesome to see. I'm only 19, so being a dad ins't even anywhere on my radar. I've always had the idea of adopting somewhere in the back of my mind so I can try to replicate something like this. Or have my own kid and make him little bro me. We can go fishing and all kinds of other dad shit that I didn't get to experience. |
6,543 | daddit | I detect a note of pride in this post. Good on you. And your son. |
6,544 | daddit | So much physicality and movement in these photos, such a beautiful boy you've raised. Thanks for sharing your Daddit success. Lucky kid. |
6,545 | daddit | I was adopted (at birth). I'm incredibly thankful for the family that choose me. I'm sure you're boy is as well. Your pride really shows in these pics of your boy. You have an amazing son there. Great job on raising him and congratulations on having an awesome young man as your son. |
6,546 | daddit | [deleted] |
6,547 | daddit | Absolutely beautiful. As others have said, you nurtured what good he had in him to become great. You and your wife are what's right in this world, I really do applaud you. Did your wife tell him to cut his hair for prom or was that voluntary? I'm getting close to the age of wanting kids and I already feel my mom and dad's words starting to appear in my vocabulary. I'm self-diagnosing myself with mom-isms and dad-isms. |
6,548 | daddit | Every young man hates it when people point this out (and I'm sure he'll hate my comment, should you relay it to him) but... he looks so young! And that's not a bad thing, either. A lot of men don't realize how fortunate they are to age gracefully. He lucked out - he'll look 30 when he's 50! |
6,549 | daddit | I kept it together until photo 22 |
6,550 | daddit | You done good |
6,551 | daddit | Thank you fellow human! |
6,552 | daddit | What a great post. You are so appreciative. Best regards to you and your loving family |
6,553 | daddit | hair cut at the end thank god |
6,554 | daddit | What a champ! |
6,555 | daddit | What a great kid! Has he been looking into any colleges? Or should I say, have any been looking into him? |
6,556 | daddit | Found this subreddit today and sorted by top. Glad I did otherwise I never would have seen this. You have one hell of a son and that must mean you're one hell of a dad. Keep it up! :) |
6,557 | daddit | I can't believe I upvoted that on Reddit, but I did. Good job. |
6,558 | daddit | This is great to see...looks like you raised a fine young man. |
6,559 | daddit | Thanks for sharing. |
6,560 | daddit | Happy birthday! |
6,561 | daddit | congratulations!! It's beautiful to see how proud you are of your son. I'm gonna go call my dad now lol |
6,562 | daddit | Such an encouraging post, thank you!! |
6,563 | daddit | Great post. Thanks for sharing. Stuff like this makes me really look forward to the future with my kiddos. |
6,564 | daddit | This brought a tear to my eye. Great job raising a seemingly awesome kid! |
6,565 | daddit | What a fantastic series of photos. And what a great story of adoption success. Best of luck to all of you going forward. |
6,566 | daddit | Wow Nothing but chill bumps man. Nothing but chill bumps |
6,567 | daddit | He's very handsome. you and your wife did a great job raising him, he is defiantly going places |
6,568 | daddit | The pride you take in him makes me look forward to being able to do the same with my own 10 month old. Congrats on bringing up a great kiddo. |
6,569 | daddit | For well before my wife and I got married, we've wanted to adopt. I firmly believe it's one of the most self-less, loving things we can do for another human being. If I could manage to be more financially able, I'd love to adopt. |
6,570 | daddit | MAN RIGHT IN THE FEELS. What a great kid. |
6,571 | daddit | Well thats heart warming |
6,572 | daddit | You are a proud dad! |
6,573 | daddit | Now that is awesome. Nicely done; honestly, you should write down your experiences in a blog or even a book. I think your story could help others, and I KNOW your son's story could too. |
6,574 | daddit | So gorgeous!! What a wonderful family. Thank u for being so amazing and taking in this precious amazing child. You changed his life forever and ever. Thank you. |
6,575 | daddit | The Wife and I are kicking around the idea of taking in foster kids... Stories like this make me want to stop talking about it and start acting on the idea Mind if I pick your brain about it a bit? |
6,576 | daddit | Awesome :) |
6,577 | daddit | I want to adopt a child as soon as I have the means. Thanks for giving me even more motivation! |
6,578 | daddit | Love it!! Was he sitting next to Matt Damon on the train pic titled "Kidnapped"? |
6,579 | daddit | Looks like a great kid!! Currently teaching a class at UD, hello from a fellow Delawarean! |
6,580 | daddit | Seems to be a great kid and you appear to be a great, active father. Also, now let's hear more about that case worker. Hot. |
6,581 | daddit | Man this is just awesome. Well done, to you, your family, and this awesome son of yours. Edit: Double awesome, but Louis C.K. would approve I feel. |
6,582 | daddit | smacks of homo-feel-ia |
6,583 | daddit | Running faster than a black man, that's something. |
6,584 | daddit | You realize that if he's watching YouTube to learn how to play guitar that's the equivalent of getting guitar lessons. You do realize that, right? I see that as a copyright infringement as he's not paying for those lessons, he's technically stealing from those making the video. You should contact those YouTubers and offer them monetary compensation. |
6,585 | daddit | such tussleable hair...god i'd love to molest that little QT-pi! |
6,586 | daddit | Adoption is disgusting. |
6,587 | daddit | Thanks for saying that. |
6,588 | daddit | I am a strong believer in adoption. This is why. Good job. |
6,589 | daddit | Way to go man. Adoption. Being an awesome kid. Sometimes I wish their is a hell for bad people but I hope their is a heaven for people like you. Bless you. Bless you my friend. |
6,590 | daddit | Goddamit OP, you're really pulling me in deep with these posts. I'm a young gay man so kids aren't in my **near** future but I think adoption will be in my future. I'm going to remember this post. You and your son are very inspiring, thanks for sharing this. |
6,591 | daddit | First off, you and your wife are an inspiration. My wife and I have talked about adoption since we first started dating and stories like this make me really want to look into the foster to adopt process. Your son talks in his presentation about his siblings from his biological family. Do you have any contact with his siblings? |
6,592 | daddit | VERY persuading to hear it from him. Thanks for sharing! |
6,593 | daddit | I had an amazing English teacher when I was in eleventh grade. For the last project of the year, he made us write a paper about something we were specialized in. He made it broad, but what he was looking for was information only you have. We all had to present our papers at the end of the year, if we were comfortable. Because he was a good guy and we all felt comfortable in his class, it was one of the most revealing classes I have ever been in. So many people went up and read these deeply personal stories. People that never talked about their home lives or anything just spilled. Kids being adopted, having family members with mental illnesses, addiction, diseases, criminal history, you get the idea. You should be very proud of your son and mostly of yourself and your wife. You gave this kid a family and a life. Not many people can say that. |
6,594 | daddit | That's a hell of a young man you and your wife have molded OP. I would say to "be proud", but it is already very clear that you are extremely proud. Your son is kick ass! |
6,595 | daddit | Great for you. PM me if you have any specific questions about becoming a foster parent. I also sit on the state board that oversees the cases of every foster kid in the state. |
6,596 | daddit | Then, you will like this speech my son gave. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWtd1wPaOcE |
6,597 | daddit | [deleted] |
6,598 | daddit | Sorry. |
6,599 | daddit | I don't want babies at all. But I really want to give a child a good life :( |
6,600 | daddit | I'm only 22 and this still has me tearing up. Paternal instincts are weird. |
