Son of a Rant!

I'm not sure why I'm writing this, but I had the strangest feeling...

Earlier I was putting on Tyler's shoes so we could go to the shops, and a thought popped into my head; how do people see me when it comes to me as a father? Do I seem 'fatherly', or do people think I possess the maturity that comes with being a dad? I'm not even sure, myself.
I still see myself as a bit of a kid, and at times I remember, "Wow, I'm a father!" and the responsibilities I have towards my boy.

I think this must the first time I've written about this concept! I've written countless times about my son, but hardly of myself as a dad! I doubt many people reading this can relate to this feeling, but it's... odd, to say the least. I've never forgotten myself or my roles in this life, but it's still a weird sensation to declare myself as a 'dad'. The only way I've regarded it is that Tyler is my son. And at times, 'The Boy'. :)

I wonder how long it took for our Dad to get his head around this concept? I doubt it took 3-and-a-half years :D
