Thank You Rebecca

Father's Day 2016 has drawn to a close.  My dad passed away nearly 8 years ago.  It's easy to say that was a significant personal loss and the start of a downward spiral, but it's really been downward for longer than that.  Today was a great day.  Not because I got a call from most of my kids or because of the amazing lobster dinner I was served by my youngest son's, girl friend's family, but because of a reminder my daughter Rebecca posted.

Despite all else, I am really proud of my kids.  Each is a superstar young adults, successful and doing amazing things.  They make me proud even if I seem to be the pain in the butt and not the one they normally come to for advice.  I feel like I've lost touch, or maybe never was in real touch.  Maybe my focus was more to provide and get to a better place so things would be better for them, even if it didn't work out how I intended.  Today, Rebecca reminded me of the only important thing...  I'm struggling, but, I'm still trying.

I know this won't make sense to you, but I understand, now, if I can make things right.
