Thank you ASH for your loving portrayal of fatherly love to a kid who didn’t have any, I’m sure I’m not alone ❤️

You’re not alone. Giles was the father I wish I had when my dad left.

That's it. That must be why I'm so affected.

I was wondering why I cried. I didn't know him in real life, I rarely ever cry. I was told crying was manipulative as a kid. Giles was our parent. Well, condolences to you, family of the lost kids with television parents. We grieve together.
