Fathers!

I try to take different routes to work. Well, there aren't that many, but when I do take the main road I always see Dad's going for their morning run while pushing their baby in the stroller. I have to say I LOVE TO SEE THAT! I have nothing but respect for men that are like that! It says so much about a guy. I think for the MOST part, this generation has evolved tremendously from the last.

I feel that it is so important to have a Father involved in their children's lives. I say that because I feel blessed to have had a Father that was ALWAYS there. I literally remember being at the park with my Dad, and him pushing me in the swing. It is clear as day in my head. I must have been about 5 years old. I have a lot of memories actually. My mom worked days, and my dad nights. I only know that because my parents told me that when I was older. But the memories are forever in my mind. I remember my dad combing my hair, walking me to school, (it was across the street from our house) taking me to the park, listening to my never ending rambling,(Yes, even at 5 yrs. old) only to find out that he wasn't even listening because before I knew it he was snoring. LOL. He was so tired from getting NO sleep! Anyway the list goes on and on!!!!

I am by no means the perfect person, but the type of relationship that I have with my dad has helped me out in coping with everyday life. I will be forever grateful that my dad was so involved in everything that my brother and I did. I love him to pieces and I am kept at ease knowing that he knows how much I appreciate him. My intentions are not to exclude my mother from the picture, because she also impacted my life tremendously (in a good way), but in reality this blog is mainly about FATHERS. :)

P.S. A blog about mothers will be posted at a later time! :)
