It's Daddy's Day!!!

To all the fathers, dads, pops, etc., may this day be a super one! Add to that, all the moms who do it on their own, either by choice or circumstance. Add to THAT, families, friends, fosters, adoptives and relatives who do it because the REAL ones can't or because they have chosen a different lifestyle and can't be "bothered." There are times when we wish our children would stay on the young side. I, for one, love watching them grow. Young is good, but who the heck misses the late hour wake-ups or the pre-potty days? You love, you watch, you love, you teach, you love, you share, you love, you spend, you spend, you spend. You hope they retain MOST of what you teach, and, when they leave the nest, you miss them but you feel great because you know they have a strong foundation. Ego gets a big boost when you see them do well, especially when they do it without asking your opinion. My gosh, they DID listen to some things! After awhile, the phases pass and they begin accepting responsibility. Think about it, you don't see many CEO-s with pierced noses or tongues...THERE IS HOPE!!! Most kids turn out okay...it's just that some of us have to pray a little harder. And, remember this: You get to inflict karma when you become a grandparent! YAY!!!
