I am reminded everyday that I am truly blessed with the best parents... Mother's Day was last month so I am compelled to write something about my Pops! Those of you who know me personally must admit that my romantic life was never.... well.... it was never envied by anyone - we'll leave it at that! At 43 years old I have taken ownership of the fact that I am not meant for a relationship - I am one of those women who will have her family, a few good friends and about 200 cats! Why is that?? I am sure women like me - there are many of us - have their own reasons but I know that it's because no one has ever been able to live up to the example of what a man of the house should be. He always worked his butt off for my brother and I - so that we could have more than he ever did... We never sat and looked out the window wondering when or if he was coming home; we never watched him come home drunk and beat our mom; we were never hungry and although we didn't have a lot of money we never knew we were poor. My brother and I never knew we were poor. My dad taught me how to change a tire, how to troubleshoot my house's air conditioning system, and how to be independent.
I wouldn't have it any other way.... I may be a horrible girlfriend, wife, or whatever but he taught me how to be a good mom and a good daughter! Thank you dad for being a real father and a real example!
