A beautiful picture my daughter just took: Father and Child.
My daughter was near a park, and saw this man, sitting in a swing, holding his baby in his arms. He was singing a lullaby to the baby, and now and then, he would look down at the baby, with a proud smile on his face. I just wanted to share this, because it's such a sweet picture, and story.

2. That is so sweet
I hope this man and his baby get to live happily together for a long time. In these uncertain times, I can only hope that for all of us.

9. I can't imagine anything more beautiful than those moments
There have been many discussions on DU about being a parent and not being a parent, but I believe all would agree that is a beautiful moment. It's the kind of moment I miss dearly. He's a fortunate man.

10. From the look on his face, and him singing to his baby, I think
he knows his fortune. Hopefully, his child will grow up knowing that he or she is fortunate, too.

21. I know.
Sometimes I feel the same way, but knowing my daughter and SIL, and lots of their friends, we have some good young ones entering the fight.

I love it for the pureness of it. It's not contrived at all.

23. Oh, if she could somehow...
find out who he is, and give him a copy.

That photo is great...just a really wonderful moment.

Beautiful photo.

24. I'm going to be spending time with her tomorrow, so I'll suggest to
her that she print a copy of it, and if she sees this man again, she give the copy to her. I'm sure she would jump at the chance.
