LOL Jenna- Other things I’ve read from you leads me to believe you and he made a pretty good kid together. And he chose you to do it with. Can’t be ALL bad.



There is no job description or instruction manual with fatherhood. I regret I was not able to be closer to my father but am grateful for the bonds with my two children. I think I won in the tradeoffs of life this time.

The family history is not storybook format at all. Of the six generations I’m lucky enough to have pictures of, tales are told such as how my grandfather (2nd from bottom), after his wife’s death, became a hard-partying, crap-shooting, silk shirt-wearing man that was able to be a provider to his three kids in his way during the great depression.
He knew he had a beating coming when he came home even as a grown man because the only thing that intimidated him was his father (bottom pic). So much so that when the model A taxi pulled up two days before Thanksgiving, only two live turkeys on a rope got out when the driver opened the door.

I guess it’s shown in may ways, but I know all fathers are the blessed ones it this deal.

HAPPY FATHERSDAY TO ALL.
