Fathers Day Edition

At the tender age of 8, my daddy reminded me that I’d lived in his balls before I lived in his house. And so I’d have to follow his rules. And that one day I would have kids of my own. And I would know how difficult it is to be a father.

I didn’t know it at 8. And I still don’t know it 31, the sacrifice, the struggle and love it takes to rear children.

That awesome responsibility to nurture men and women.

Sometimes at the cost of ones own dreams and happiness.

In the age of cheap sex and the decaying sanctity of marriage, it’s easy to create life. Not so easy to be a good father.

So cheers to the good ones. And the future ones.

But right now, I’ll just be “daddy” to the missus when I “hit it right.”

Happy Fathers Day.
