I have to say this last week has been very trying and tough. I started a new JOB, I loose one day with my son(but love that Reanna, his mom is getting him), and can't go to the Oregon Coast next weekend. This all sounds so horrible, but then I think what I get in return........
1. I get to be an adult. Not just a single dad, but a working adult!
2. I get to take my son to Disneyland for his 4th Birthday(since now I will be bringing in money).
3. I get some piece of mind that I am growing up.
4. I still get to be a DAD!
I have been talking with Ryder a lot about money and that daddy is broken(meaning broke). But I hope he understands that work is a part of life and Daddy hasn't worked since before he was born. I hope he understands that daddy is going back to work, but I don't think he understands that we are going to miss a day together. I have to put out much love to Reanna, she has been a great mother to Ryder and a good friend to me. This makes it very easy to raise our son together. So thank you Reanna.
Today I get to spend time with Ryder and I am going to take him for a fun day at the Science Center and Children's Museum. He always wants to go to the Science Center or Swimming now. I love his thinking! PLAY, PLAY, PLAY. So Off I go into this wonderful life I have.
Thanks everyone who has supported me and helped me grow back into an adult. Now watch out world because Ryder and myself are on the loose.

"The day my son was born, I simultaneously died and was reborn. Every day before that day, my life had been about me and what I wanted the world to give me. Every day since, my life necessarily has been about what I can give to someone else. And that, I think, is why the world needs more children - and more parents." ~~ Kevin, Attorney from Richmond VA
Congrats on the new chapter in your life. Life is fluid and always changing, just like our kids, so don't stress what you don't have control of. You are a great Dad. He knows it.
