Section 2 – About a Father

In order to understand this post, you should read part 1 first. ===================== I was captivated by the lady at my side.  The one I was asked to take to the party.  Absolutely captivated. My job was a seven day a week gig delivering newspapers. roughly 2,000 papers a night.  Double that on Sundays.  So I had to escort her back to her friends and pick up my daughter. Later that evening, when I showed up to deliver papers to the lady that I had wanted to date forever, I asked for a phone number. Give you a hint here.  It wasn’t for the lady I had wanted to date forever.  It was for my date to the Christmas party. I was so afraid to call her.  So I asked a friend to make the first call for me.  Yep you guessed it.  I asked the lady I was delivering

can second hand thrift stores be addicting?

I don’t know.  But I do love to browse them. As many of my readers know, I typically am a stay at home dad of 5 kids.  3 of whom have some type of disability.  Life is good.  Right now I am on a vacation.  So while my eldest daughter is off doing her thing, I hit second hand stores today.  The first was Goodwill.  I spent a good hour and a half perusing their stacks today.  Found two Gevalia Coffee canisters.  Only one that smells like it had coffee in it.  Very interesting find.  🙂 the other stores are all closed today so will hit them tomorrow and Tuesday.  Hope everyone is having a great day!   Related articles Look of the Day: Thrift Score (fabsugar.com) My Thrift Store Spoils!

Like a dove taking flight for the first time

When is your child old enough?  at 18?  when they go to college? At some point we all have to let our children go. Go off in the world and make successes and errors of their own.  Hope that the way they were raised prevents unexpected developments, jail sentences and things of that nature. It is difficult.  I will be the first to admit that I am struggling. My eldest daughter is off to college in the fall, and while I understand that it is a part of the growing up process, I don’t want to let her go. Like a good friend said… “if there was an award for worry, every parent would be nominated…” With love in my heart, I let her go like a dove taking flight after learning how to fly.   Tweet #fighting4answrs
