My proudest achievement as a dad is that I have no regrets of wishing I had spent more time with my boys. My wife and I put watching and helping them grow above all else for 21 years.
Now, I have more memories than I have time to remember, and they are still creating more. My older son will see one of his compositions recorded later this year by Bill Hart and his combo, and my younger son will be umpiring in the Northwest League this coming season, I'll be watching baseball while listneing to my IPod.  |
Thanks for the advice...I am. My son is nearly 10 and I think...where has the time gone?
I nearly cried this week when my son said, "dad, I can't wait until I'm old enough to start umpiring with you."
But then I caught myself and said, "why in the hell would you want to do that!?!" (I'm sure you can appreciate!)
