There are times in your life where all you can do is simply reflect and count your blessings. Today I was floored, put aside, and completely beside myself by a simple and unselfish act by my eldest son. Today, he had a competition that he was going to with his school, and out of the blue he called me to let me know what was going on and said that he "Loved Me". He said that in front of all of his friends.
Looking back as a father and addressing all of the faults that have transpired, you can't help but to wonder what you could have done better. As there is no right or wrong way to be a parent, and no matter who expresses themselves as an expert, it is still a crap shoot on what your results will be. Often times, I reflect on my decisions a little too often, and it is a constant chore to keep myself from second guessing all of my decisions. Should I punish because of this, should I let them do that, and am I making the right decision that will help him grow personally?
Through all of this, he still called me to let me know how he is doing and to let me know that he loves me. That by itself lets me know that I'm not doing too bad.
Thank you Buddy!!!
