Ahh, where to begin? There are so many things to being a single father, so I want to focus on the most important part…being a father. My Dad never really had a father growing up after his father got in a winter car wreck when he and his twin sister were infants. Between working 60 to 80 hrs a week and having a very-very busy son (me), he really had his work cut out for him. He worked hard and did what he could to be a good father and I think that is a cornerstone to every good parent.
”You work hard and do everything you can…at the end of each day you hope it was enough.”
As a concerned parent before Logan was born, I had made the biggest leap forward as a father. Being concerned brings awareness as a father to your position. Logan and I have so much fun going fishing, hiking, watching wildlife/photography, digging for minerals, going to playgrounds/parks or Dynamite Dads. The parenting comes easy when you are just doing what you can as a parent and not getting envious about problems that may arise. My father did his best and I am going to do my best. Taking parenting as life comes at us just gets easier all the time and Logan surprises me with his abilities at every turn. I just can’t wait for all the fun stuff in the future to come, while cherishing the memories of the past!
