As dads, we've all had those moments when our kids come see us crying, throwing up, totally upset because of something that just happened. We rally to their side and comfort them. But what about normal days when there isn't a crisis. Instead of them coming to you crying and miserable, they just say Dad, will you play with me? Dad, can we spend some time together? Dad, are you coming home soon? Be there for your kids even when it's not a crisis.
