Father's Day

The father of my children is a pretty good guy. We have been married for a long time and have three great kids. Karl has always been and will always be there for the kids -- school work, any event, homework, yard work, project work, business ventures, and even house work now and again. When the kids were young, Karl took care of them pretty much Monday through Thursday evenings while I either went to school or taught evening classes. We passed each other in the driveway many afternoons for many years. As the dad, he always did what was needed and if he had to go somewhere -- the kids always tagged along. The daughters were the best for many years -- they loved to play ball and watch ball games, read historical non-fiction and fiction, listen to and collect all types of music, go to concerts, and pretty much hang out with their dad. About the only things they didn't like about their dad were the long explanations about historical events and places.

Once the son came along and began to grow into a walking talking person, good student, sports enthusiast, and video game junkie -- the dad moved into a new life dimension. He makes time to be with the son in every aspect of his life -- even scouts. The daughters, now married, have moved to the status the "opening band" in their dad's life and the son has become the "main event" (I think they are okay with that -- they are still part of the concert). Through it all --Karl will always be the best dad ever -- I know that for sure! Happy Father's Day!
