bhāvajñena kṛtajñena dharmajñena ca lakṣmaṇa | tvayā putreṇa dharmātmā na saṃvṛttaḥ pitā mama || 3-15-29
"You are the knower of others feelings, knower of many skills, and the knower of what is right and honest, oh, Lakshmana, such as you are, being with you I deem that my virtue-souled father is not gone and forgotten. [3-15-29]
Ramayana is a gift that keeps giving- Rama says this to Lakshmana, indicating that Raghava sees His father in His younger brother. This also shows the importance of Lakshmana in Rama's life, and how Lakshmana played multiple roles for Rama.
