My dad and I have always been close. Since I was little, I've called him "Pouty" (POO-tee). I always know he loves me, and he expresses it every day and with great amounts. When I was asked the question: "What is one moment where you remember thinking that your parent loves you a lot?" this story was the first to come to mind.
I am telling this story to my mom. Even if this moment hadn't happened, I would still know that my parents love me endlessly, and I love them the same.
