Little Bigmann245 went to New York yesterday :(

[bigmann245]

I had to drop him off at the airport and watch him walk down the tarmac to the plane and see it take off. it was sad saying good bye. he is going to visit my parents on Long Island for 8 days. today they took him to the statue of liberty. he called me from the statue and said he wished i was there. i thought him being away would give me some time to relax and rest but I’m not. i miss him a lot. I’m not used to him not being here during the day. he usually goes to work with his mother and then comes see's me at my job to have lunch everyday. today was the first day without him at lunch. right before he boarded the plane he turned and started hugging me and wouldn’t let go and i looked down and he was crying. broke my heart i almost bought a plane ticket right then and there. but i start my new shift as a sergeant tonight so i couldn’t go. i let him take my $500 camera with him. he wanted a camera to take pics with up there and lately he’s been into making short videos with it so i let him. I’m such a sucker.

He's having fun with grandma and grandpa though. I'm sure your folks are loving every second with him.

After having lost both my parents a few years ago....YOUR son will cherish every moment he has with his grand parents someday when they are no longer around.

It's tough now, but think about how your mom and dad are LOVING this time with him. He'll wanna come home..Don't worry,dad.

You are soooo lucky that you have your mom and dad still.

i made him a promise before he was born that i would be the best father i can be. its hard to live up to it but i try the best i can and when he comes to me at the end of everyday and tells me im his favorite Dad in the world it melts my heart. then i think about it and i say "im your ONLY dad" he say's "I know but your still my favorite."

believe me i know and i tell them everyday i love them. me and my mom are real close. we bawled our eyes out during the mother/son dance at my wedding. when i told her i was getting married it was dead silence on the phone and i said "Mom, you ok?" and she started crying and said "my baby is getting married", yup i lost it too.

my dad and i never really got along till i joined the Navy at 17 and proved to him i was going to make something of myself. i never knew how much he loved me till the day i left for boot camp and i gave him a hug good bye and when he pulled away he had tears in his eyes and told me i was now a man. that day will never be forgotten.

im sorry to hear about your parents. my wife is adopted and being she is related to her adopted father she knew who her biological parents were. she never met them but when she heard that her real dad died of a drug over dose and her real mom died early she had a tough time with just that. she ended up meeting her real brothers and sisters which was cool but she still thinks about her biological parents every now and again. i can imagine how you feel but will nver know exactly till my parents are no longer with us. i know im gonna be a wreck.

You have fantastic parents. Now a days, it seems few can say this about their mom and dad. Seems most people take family for granted anymore. Sad.

I think about my mom and dad daily...STILL! Miss them more than I can express.
