From Reddit: At what point did you realize that your kid was with the person he/shell marry? Ans (that made my cry): Not a parent or a brother, but a bastard son. I had seen my mom date a lot of guys, a few she really liked. A few who really hated me. But I remember the moment the man who she was with became my dad, and her true love. We were hiking. We lived in Alaska at the time so hiking is a popular date activity. Knowing this my mom decided she wanted to go back down the back of the mountain and circumnavigate back to the car to get some time away from all the other couples. The back of the mountain was steep and entirely shale, and I was a clumsy ten year old. So naturally I lagged behind for awhile. About halfway down all the shale below me shifted, and I completely lost balance and tumbled down the mountainside. As I said I was lagging behind, my dad hears all this and swiftly puts himself in the way and snags me mid bounce, firmly placing me back onto some stable ground. From that point on it was clear to me that this man would be my dad, after years of being hated or alone. I think it became apparent to my mom when we all went and saw Finding Nemo together. Even though they were married and already had my baby brother it was clear she was still a little scared to give herself completely. Then towards the end of the film when Dorey is being told she cant help, I see tears in my moms eyes and then Dorey says When Im with you... Im home she burst out into full on sobs, telling my dad that that is how she has felt from the beginning. It was obvious to us that even though she felt it, this was the first time she had let herself believe it. I love my family, and I am eternally thankful for my dad. To quote the only country song I enjoy, I hope I end up half the dad he didnt have to be. Gurpreet Sandhu and Shane Hinkle this totally reminded me of you guys! #love
