I can only hope that I can be the father that my kids will look back on and be proud of. I thank God every day that I have people *wink* to show me what it is like to be a good dad. Thank you for sharing this Steve.Juvenalyhttp://www.TheophanyDesigns.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656667.post-45941447150959588832008-07-24T08:49:00.000-07:002008-07-24T08:49:00.000-07:00As a man who grew up for the most part without a d...As a man who grew up for the most part without a dad I can only imagine how grateful you must feel.

Much as at times we want to trade him, give him back or whatever... one day realize the feeling is mutual and begin to negotiate armistence, disarmament, or whatever... and begin to laugh and cry together. We think of how we might have spent our time together better and been thankful for those that remain where we just might get it right. I'm amazed he's even reading your blog!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for this ... 3-gen's of Steve... I mean as someone who's worked with his Dad 20+ years and always felt a bond with those "under the same rule"... these small things say a lot.James the Thickheadedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11128470567186118742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656667.post-65469089925215093482008-06-17T18:19:00.000-07:002008-06-17T18:19:00.000-07:00Yes it was.

That's my dad and me. I'm finding we have a much better relationship now that I'm a family man myself; I think I've really surprised him with how much DIY stuff I actually can do around the house just from having watched what he did during the "visitation weekends" and halves of summer I was with him.<BR/><BR/>What a great tribute; thanks for this, and may God bless all the remaining days together. May there be many more.Fr.
