Daddy > Dad

I was out on my porch this evening. The neighbors had a party that was letting out and the families were heading to their cars or walking up the block....

I heard one dad tell his wife he loved her, and a kid made a wretching noise. Dad retorted that he loved the kid too. Daddy, actually. The kid called him Daddy. Don't remember what he said, but the Daddy.

My kids call me Dad these days. 15 & 17, and that's appropriate. Still, I miss being Daddy.

They would sit in the window sill and wave as I left for work. Nowadays, I have to throw a fit to get them both to come to my house for 'my' Saturday night.

Sigh.

I know it's normal. I don't fault them.... But I miss being Daddy.
