Okay, if you are still reading – you may know this: Having 4 kids allows you to try & do things differently (and hopefully with wisdom as you do so). But I will tell you this – if you're like most dads (as I was back in the day), we don't realize we are missing opportunities until the months & years zip by. So, in the spirit of trying to challenge you to do better then I did, consider this 3rd note – this time for our middle son *** as my example. So, if I could it again, it would go like this:
A . . . Hey Bud, Dad here. Just a short note and a request. First, I came across these words by a dad who was passing on advice to his teenage daughter. It got me to thinking – and yes, he had some good words. I took his words & tweaked them for you. I know you have your prom that is coming up and my hope was that you would read this, think about it and then when we get a chance, to talk about it and it is about Honesty which I already know, you're doing a great job on. |
Second, where the Dad who wrote those words, were for his daughter on what she should looking for in who she dates. I thought . . .'What about my kids – do they see these characteristics in who they date and within themselves?'
So, you know me – I'm curious to hear your comments on this. Maybe one of these nights when we get a chance to relax and have a hot tub break? I always appreciate hearing your views on what we talk about.
Thanks, luv ya & catch ya when it works best for you. Dad
Yep, you guessed it, this 3rd example has this now . . .
*** = Our middle son is now a Dad and with his wife, they are the parents of two of our youngest grand-kids.
They're a few years yet away from their teen time – but they will be that age surprisingly quick.
