Much like the transition of the seasons, my life is a continuing transitional process full of ups and downs, but no matter what, I move forward. I must for the sake of my children. James and Hanah mean so much to me. They are the constant in my life. They keep me grounded. Hanah lately has persisted in telling me on numerous occasions, "you're a good daddy!" Is it possible that this three year old girl can sense her father's frustrations, his pain...the wear that his constant striving to make a life for his family takes on him physically and mentally? Some mornings, as of late, I wake with her beside me in bed, her big Bambi eyes wide open, staring at me in a contemplative manner; as if she's trying to figure me out. She just smiles and says, "I love you. You a good daddy."
That is what drives me...the love of my children. As I continue to work hard at making a living for my family, I must always remember to make time for the two most important people in the world. They deserve no less from their father.
As I step outside today, I'm going to look up, breathe in deep, and remember why it is I live. Today is going to be as good a day as I make it.
Great entry PJ...fun to see your blog, what a great idea. I can't wait to see more entries and more pictures of James and Hanah. WE love you all and miss them very much!

ReplyDeleteHey PJ. I agree we all need to "look up, breathe in deep, and remember why it is I live". Very well put. I'm going to have to put this on my favorite quotes list!! I definitely find myself doing this quite often these days. You just never know what life is going to bring and how short those days might be. Cherish your time with your little ones. They are such sweet kids. I enjoyed spending time with them at Stacey's the last time we were there. Take care! Debra
