Thats my Boy

-


A fine young man only 19 months of age. He is a big fan of blocks, playing the keyboards and of his 16' FatMax Stanley tape measure. Just like his 'old man' is tall and skinny - which I am sure he will remain for the entirety of his life. The amazement he has for the simple operation of a light switch puts all else life has to offer in perspective.

I remember when he was just born and would suck on my thumb. It is hard to fully explain how immediate my paternal instincts broke into action. When I found out I was to be a father an instantaneous fear overcame me. I dreaded losing my son before I even had the chance to meet the little guy.

Finally the day came from the first ultrasound and my first chance to look at my child. Never did blurry blobs on a monitor look so good. Soon after my fears shifted from losing him to not being able to provide for his future. Up to this point in his life he has been cared for well, but I could have done much more.

This blog exists in part to keep constant an accountability with myself for an increased awareness of my parenting. To make sure my path to becoming the man I wish my son to be is kept steadfast.

I have been denied access for alone time with my son by his mother. It is for his benefit that I have taken action in court to force his mother to grant visitation. More on this later.

Simply put - having my son has driven many courses in my life toward a singular goal - Improving myself, improves my ability to father, which improves my sons life.
