Yea, I'm not going to bother looking into this guy at all, but I immediately thought "this guy can't possibly have kids". Anyone with kids knows that the regular pickups stop before they reach this kids age. I'm not saying no one could or should pick this kid up, I'm just saying that none of the kids in my life that age expect to be picked up with any regularity, and if someone went to pick them up I'd imagine they were extremely close relatives and accustomed to doing so.
I have made it my goal to pick up my kids as long as they want and I am capable. I will train to keep up if possible. I pick them up at least once a day to keep at it. They are turning 6 and 8.
Not just for my health. That's the least of it. It's for them. And for me. Picking them up for a big ole hug is the fuckin best. And I hope it imprints my love for them in their minds.
