We were just sitting on the porch eating ice cream and she randomly said 'you're the best dad in the whole world.' I'm pretty sure I'm not but man did that hit different. She's 8 and still thinks I'm cool. Gonna hold onto this moment forever. Already told my wife I'm never letting her forget I won best dad.
That's the stuff you don't forget. My kids have said similar things and it always catches me off guard because I'm usually just trying to keep everyone alive and fed. Sounds like you nailed it though.
This right here is why we do all the hard stuff. Those words hit different when they just come out of nowhere like that.
Dude those are the moments you gotta hold onto. My kids say stuff like that and it makes all the tough days worth it, no question.
That's the stuff right there man. Those random moments on the porch are what it's all about. She means every word of it too, trust me.
Ice cream and real talk with your daughter sounds perfect to me. She knows what she's talking about.
Those moments stick with them forever. I still remember my dad just being present and not trying too hard to be cool. Ice cream on the porch sounds perfect.
This is the real win right here. Not the big expensive gifts or the perfect vacation. Just you and her and ice cream. Cherish it.
Cherish that moment. My kids are teenagers now and I'd give anything to go back to porch ice cream conversations. Screenshot this if you can.

Stop, you're gonna make me cry at work. Those random moments are everything man. Ice cream on the porch sounds perfect.
