My children: I couldn't imagine life without them. You?

Really – nothing against singles – bless ‘em – but I’m in my, ahem, mid-life period – and despite the occasional cause for alarm, headache and even heartache – I don’t know what I’d do without the little angels, bless them.

I tell my son and daughter to remember this, if only one thing: from the moment I wake up til the minute I fall asleep – I am thinking of how to better your lives.

My son, younger at the time, said: but what about you, dad?

He was right – I should indeed spend more time on myself, and for myself, to better my own life; thus feeling better and enriching theirs, too. Win – win. I’m going to begin dating again (divorced 12 years, single white dad ;-) ~

What’s your relationship like with the kids? Something of note, please. Or just talk – hey – it’s Social.
