Learn something from this , pick the right woman , dont put your kids where you are ....and you - keep being you .
Well said my friend, he's right, on all accounts. Brandon I can only say that for me and I'm sure most dads its heart breaking not to be able to come home each night to there children. I too have 3 kids 2 girls and a son the youngest is 17, they don't live close by and in fact they live in another state. I can say there isn't a day that goes by when they don't come to mind. I miss then when I'm with them and wish things were much different. I'm responcable for part of the way things are now and so is there mother. They aren't, if we had let them have a say in how the future would be, back then I mean. It would be much different now. Parents make mistakes and some how the children feel responsible for those mistakes, there not and it brakes my heart to know I should have done things different back when it would have mattered.
I'm sure your dad loves you and thinks about you and misses you very much. We as man have a way of not letting it show when we probably should. Some day you'll have an opportunity to make amends with your dad, for both of you I truly hope you can be open to it.
Your a great kid kiddo, and lke snow said dont let the rift start with your kids when that time comes. Its pure hell.
