The last few weeks I've noticed it's been getting longer and longer since I last posted on here. I think by now, though, I've covered most of the topics I really wanted to include. Mainly just wanted you to know I still care for you enough to consider this ongoing project important!
Was talking with Lili about father/son relational dynamics and how I received plenty of corrective discipline from my dad but not so much affection/affirmation (same as his dad with him). At least, in my younger years. He really changed for the better by the time I became an adult. By then, though, I feel like the pains of my growing up may have affected my thoughts/reactions/habits in a negative way. I must admit, I'm terribly scared of the possibility of doing that to you boys. Making a point of doling out as many, if not more, hugs and commendations as reprimands.
Just wanted you to know I was making concerted efforts to be the best dad I can be for you boys. I apologize in advance for the fact that, as a sinner, I will fall short plenty often. I will promise, however, that I will never give up trying to be better!
I love you boys and am so thankful for each day I get to spend with you.
- Dad (or "dodo" as Keegan has been calling me lately)
