The Reluctant Father

For the record, I have 7 children. Biologically I have 2. Ironically the oldest is my first biological and the 7th is my last biological. The 5 in the middle adopted ME. And taught me what I needed to know to be a Dad. I can point you to a couple people who heard me SCREAM that I was not father material and never wanted to be a father. It can be verified that I said that. Several times. Since the last time I said that I have changed my mind.

Somewhere I became the Dad that MY Dad (Tyrone) became to me. I have no problem believing that my Dad loves me as his own because I am experiencing being a Dad like he was to me. My whole life.

Everything I am is a result of trying to make my Dad proud of me. He'll probably "like" this because at 69 years old he's on Facebook, and he knows me. He's been there my entire life as far as I can remember, and who I AM is a direct result of HIM.

I can fix anything, I can play any instrument you put in front of me. Because my Dad taught me the basic's.

The MOST important thing is my Dad taught ME how to be a Dad.

My Dad is the greatest Dad there ever was. 

Period.
