A Beginning
Everyone's doing it. Blog Blog Blog. So why not me?
Why the title? My life was changed by my father. My life was changed by being a father. It's safe to say that the relationships with my two sons are the most important ones in my life.
We all yearn for Big Daddy. What is the belief in god (the cloud guy god anyway) but a desire to be protected? The heavenly father is the one we wish we had. He never gets drunk. Never forgets to show up at our baseball games or band concerts. Never gets lost and then yells at Mom for reading the map wrong.
My dad left my life too soon. Since I've become a father my goal has been to do better; to be there for my boys in a way my dad was unable to. When he was present, my dad was the greatest. He was patient, engaged, funny. But he was also human and by the time I was twelve, he had begun his downward spiral. My oldest son is now twelve.
Now it's time for me to prove myself.
