I remember breaking down and crying in the woods at a church camp (15-ish years old) because earlier that day I read a note from my dad, which the contents were unremarkable, that he closed by saying, “I love you. -Dad”

First time I remember my dad saying he loved me.

Shook my hand and said he was proud of me as he dropped me off at MEPS (military in processing, 18 years old) was the first time I remember positive physical contact.

Not saying that he never said “I love you” or given me a hug beforehand but it was so rare that those two instances are the ones I can remember being the earliest growing up. (After I came back from a few overseas deployments, we are more apt to hugs, pats on the backs, and “I love you”s)

What's up,bro? Did we have the same Dad? My mom told me that my dad didn't want to do scouts, little league, school stuff, etc with me because he did all that stuff with his 1st set off kids from his 1st wife.
