Yes, I moved out of home at age 15. Yes, I struggle so hard and so bad learning how to be an adult. Yes, I’ve almost died several times. Yes, I broke my neck and lost their ability to walk or pretty much do anything at all. However, I am blessed, but, why?
My children are absolutely amazing! They do great in school, they help me out so much, they’re nothing like I was when I was their age, and the older they get the more I love being a father! My oldest has graduated high school, I got him a welder for Christmas because he wants to go into school for welding. My other two children are absolutely amazing as well! They don’t participate in anything that can get them in trouble and if their friends are doing something like that they’ll call me and tell me to come pick them up or they will completely remove themselves from the situation.
Don’t forget to stop and look around, listen to the birds, the wind in the trees, the sound of the river, the voices of children off in the distance at school recess. Remember it’s the bad times that make life difficult and teach us we want better and it’s the good times that get us out of bed each day moving forward!
Remember, if donkeydidit… You can too!
