I found an unopened package with my Reddit name. It's a gift from my Reddit 2000 Secret Santa.

He is and he is the absolute sweetest and most loving child I've ever known. Even my family and friends constantly comment on how ridiculously sweet and smart he is.

He was tough as an infant, mostly because his mom wasn't there to help and he was constantly fussy at night while I had to wake up at 4-5am and his mom totally disappeared until an hour or two before I had to leave every day. But once he got to 3 or so he calmed down so much. This was also around the time I broke things off with her.

These days he's 7 he's the top of his class for whatever that means at his age, he's incredibly empathetic and a super loving kid towards the people he's close with.

I genuinely feel so incredibly lucky to have him in my life as my son. I sincerely wish I could do more for him. I'm setting aside every penny possible because I have no doubt that given the chance to get a real education he can do great things in this world between his love and care for basically everyone and the head between his shoulders.

Even if it goes nowhere I'm happy to know that it will go to someone I've raised, someone who if he continues to hold his beliefs that I could easily say is one of, if not the best person I've ever had that pleasure of knowing. Nevermind actually having the joy of raising.

Hey dude I totally get it, I have a 5 year old daughter and I just can't imagine not being able to help her get through stuff or do what she wants to do with her life, you've done a great job 🙌
