I remember a
few weeks before I had my little son, I looked at my husband and said, ‘you’re
about to become someone’s hero… are you ready?’
I’m not sure
he quite believed me, but, I know from experience that I was very lucky to have
a hero. And, as my husband has many of my father’s qualities (it’s true, I chose
a man just like my dad!), I know he’ll be the same to our little one.
Why was my
dad my hero? Well, he always had teabags and a washing line on holiday for starters.
He could erect any tent in minutes, large or small. He looked at me as though he adored me
and encouraged me in everything – and that was what made him wonderful. He gave
me self-belief and confidence (as well as superb camping skills).
So I know
the way my son will feel about his dad, and I can’t wait to see it happen…
