Fathers Day

The song "Cats in the Cradle" is much the tale of me and my father. He worked all the time, even when he was at home. I don't blame him for that, his father died when he was young and in his day he had no choice but to work. He did however teach me allot, how to build something from nothing, maintain your auto and I don't know of many in the city that grew up with a Blacksmith forge in their backyards, but he did miss things that where important to me, concerts, sporting events and so on. I'm sad to say that he passed on most of the traits I have and it took me losing everything to realize that I wasn't the father I should have been, taking time off to spend to spend it with my , being a dad and I have apologized to them for that. The cycle has been broken. My wife I have now gets upset that they don't visit often, but I tell her its fine, they are doing what they need to do, spending time with their and watching them grow, maybe I did teach them something.
So all the young fathers out their I say to you, Take the time, enjoy every moment and feed their soul as well as their bodies.
