I started this journal wayyyy back when he was young and I was looking for ways to express my thoughts on being a single dad. (ironically STILL a single dad) It turned into a totally different thing and I met lots of great people and awesome experiences that I ( Read more... )

Life is weird, you never know what will happen. You said she "came and went" but I'll bet the next Ms.Right is still out there. She'll come to you...be patient. :)

I can relate to how your are feeling because my kids are a bit older than Brandon. (By the way, you need to post some recent pics of him, haven't seen him for years!!) With my kids, when my eldest graduated high school I feared his life choices would take him far from us. Years later, circumstances have brought him closer to us than ever before...along with his wife and baby. So it's AWESOME!!

Give my best to Brandon.

*hugs*

It's crazy how fast our kids grow up! You've been and will always be such an amazing father, Brandon is a very blessed kid. :-) You totally have me curious now though...I want to know who "her" is! :-) I'm just too dang nosy! xoxo!

Okay, don't sweet talk me and then pump me for info! lol...
"Her" is 1 person in particular, 1 person maybe, so 1 and a half. Both people were okay with a certain thing about our relationship but once we weren't together, they went opposite, which I thought would happen and was for the best. :)

Painted ponies go up and down.

Sometimes, those ponies are assholes :)

What the??

Hahaha! It's a song. Never mind :)

Oooooh. I think I see what you think I meant. Like I'd say something like that, geez.

I assumed you'd get the song reference. Joni Mitchel.. The seasons go round and round, painted ponies go up and down, we're captive on the carousel of life... That song? I was commenting on the passage of time, and how, when looking back, there is some sadness sometimes. And that sometimes, I hate the way time passes so quickly, before I can manage to set everything just right.
