When I try to my mind blurs over and I believe that there is very little that is good. I’m going to be writing lists on the blog , now and then, so I can come back and look at them when I’m not thinking clearly.
Today I’m having a hard time thinking of any good I’ve done as a parent.
I took Micheal to the beach. We played miniature golf and I told funny stories that made him laugh.
One time we drove the car with me working the pedals and he the steering wheel. We’re still laughing about it 25 years later.
When he left home and wasn’t speaking to any of our family, I went and found him, even though I believed he had stopped loving me, and I would be crushed when he rejected me.
For a whole year I drove him to work at 5:00 AM in the morning when he didn’t have a car.
Bought him a car when he was 19. Never bought him a car again. He became responsible and bought his own car.
