Children’s stunned reactions
The children were stunned and deeply moved, their eyes brimming with tears. They had always known I loved them, but seeing the depth of my planning and effort was overwhelming.

“Dad, you did all this for us?” my youngest asked incredulously. I nodded, tears forming in my eyes too.
The realization hit them hard, finally understanding the depth of my love and dedication. It was a moment none of us would forget.
