What you mean to me:
You are the sun in the sky,
You are the light shining by,
You are the breeze in my hair,
You’re the life I want to share.

You are what makes my days go by,
You are the ones I’ll tell no lies
You are the ones...

I call this a precious gift.
When times seem too hard to bear and I feel like giving up
I vision your beautiful face, the twinkle of your eyes and things of such
The bond we created from my womb to the day you were born
Is a mother and...

I can't forgive him.
It's been many many years now.
I can't forgive him.
He beat me when I was 20.
He beat me when I was 21.
And again when I was 43.
I lived in fear.
I worked hard at home to keep him happy
He was never satisfied...

Where to begin? I have a 5 yr old that is so ambitious and so prissy. She's always wanting to help me cook dinner every night and then do the dishes. This morning she tried helping put the towels away. But I had to refold them because...

.....my 2 saviors and you don't even know it. Now they are 6 & 8 years old and so unbelievably different from one another I'm amazed daily. Both so different from each other, yet I see so much of myself in both of your actions. Your...

I have spent much of the last 13 years just being silly, making my kids laugh or smile has been part of being a dad, and boy I have been pretty successful at it, my dancing, my singing, my silliness, all have earned me the nick names...

There has been a lot of crap thrown at me by my ex-wife
And in our legal system family law is a very separate thing, and it really sucks in the way that it is applied, dads are treated as second class citizens
She has accused me of all...

I want my daughters to know:

They deserve to be respected.
They are individual people with likes, talents, and opinions.
They do not have to be a carbon copy of their father and should not...

a man who flatters her, and a man who complements her
a man who spends money on her, and a man who invests in her
a man who views her as property, and a man who views her properly
