Henry looked down at his toddler and couldn't stop the smile that took flight on his face. "Dada up!" Shawn looked up and held his hands out high toward the man. Henry had just gotten off a twenty-four hour shift and was bone tired. "Dada up!" Henry couldn't say no to that chubby face so he bent over and put the eighteen month old on his shoulders.

"Dada up." Shawn squealed in delight and the smile on Henry's face grew. Despite been tired and sore he didn't mind giving his son a piggy back ride because he knew it wouldn't be long before he no longer towered over him and be able to put him on his shoulders.

"Yeah dada up."
