in my life ,ive had the opportunity to be "dad" not necessarly "father". trials, errors, patience and the lack there of is unfortunitly a part of being human.(so ive discovered) if there is love and tolerance in our hearts, and the WILLINGNESS to better ourselves, a day at a time, things will be the way they are supposed to be. as much as i would have liked to.. i could never control his actions, only my re-actions.
