My youngest daughter was playing in the div 1 women's GF on Saturday so I thought it was a good opportunity to try and get my estranged son there to watch.
He cleared out his duties during the day to make himself available.
I thought it was best to not tell my other kids, we met at the gate beforehand, grabbed a beer and went to stand near where the girls run out hoping for my daughter to notice on her way past.
We watched the game with a few beers and laughs, for the first time ever my two sons were together there with me all having a chat.
The lad got into the game as it was close during the last quarter, my daughters team won so we went out on to the oval afterwards where she came running up to me and gave me a big hug, she then gave her newly found brother a big hug and thanked him for coming to watch.
Upon leaving my youngest son gave him a hug too, f*** man, tears flowed steadily on my long drive home, especially having a good chat with my sister.
My words "It's not everyday a 25 year old bloke that you've never met starts calling you dad", parental bliss.
