On Fatherhood, Manhood & Becoming Better Ancestors.
“No freedom ’til were equal. Damn Right I support it!”
“No law is going to change us. We have to change us”
A Facebook friend messaged me and said, "I have never heard you speak poorly of their mother."
"You're quite astute," I replied. As a rule, I never speak badly about my ex-wife (or any ex).
I chose her.
I’ve never been allowed to be a child with my parents.
My ex-girlfriend upgraded after me. I'm sure all my exes upgraded.
At least, I hope they did. I hope they found the love and companionship that they were looking for and upgraded.
I wrote this poem in 2008 and sent it to myself. I discovered it on May 2nd, 2023. How appropriate given that my girls are grown and about to fly away.
One day, you will hate me. You won’t be happy with me for some reason or another.
One of the biggest lessons I am working to impart on the girls during the summer (because they are getting older and they are beginning to be confronted with it) is to always be aware that “haters”/critics and fans will always be in the room.
