I couldn't sleep last night (staying at home 24/7 has me all mixed up and sleeping either too much or too little) so I decided to hop on the XBox to do a little gaming around 4 AM. My son woke up an hour later for some water and decided to join me. That turned into a few hours of us cracking jokes and talking lore, philosophy, societal stuff about the game I was playing (Bioshock 2). Then we watched some funny TikTok's I've been saving and laughed like idiots.

It was so nice. I love how we can just talk about almost everything, and have fun together no matter the circumstances. We totally 'get' each other. As someone who has rarely been 'gotten', that's really special to me. Spending time with him is one of the few things I have to look forward to lately. I know a lot of parents right now are struggling and I feel for them. But I'm also secretly grateful for the fact that I don't feel that way at all. Being with my kid so much has been pretty awesome. He's just amazing and I love him sooo frickin much. He's my favorite person in the whole world to spend time with. Every time I see him I smile and think about how incredible it is that he's MY kid and he's turned out so well. He's just a gift to me every single day.
