Well here it is another night that I am having a tough time sleeping but that is OK My Son got back from hunting for deer about 17:30 ate some supper and went down to his buddy's home for awhile he said that on New Year's day that they are going out again and also on Monday and the fellows that he is hunting with tokd him that he could drink all he wanted after he got to his new base that he didn't have to go drinking on New Year's Eve That hunting is more important then drinking these guys really want him to get his deer so he will have something to remember when he is on this heartship deployment for a year, that will keep him going till he get's home next's year in 2009, I like the idea of him not going out to drink on New Year's Eve because you never know what is going to happen on the roads that night because there will be a lot of people who are drinking and driving and I don't want him to be one of them.
I was just thinking earlier tonight at how fast kids grow up and leave the so called nest I was remembering when I was a kid growing up in a small town, at how we use to play street hockey in the winter and of course living in the city we use to go to the local school play ground after the kids went home and in the summer to play stick ball with a rubber ball and a old broom stick, how fast thoes years went by at the time all we wanted was to grow up and now looking back why did we want to grow up so fast for I can remember my Dad taking my buddies and I out to Bedford after school and we would all fish for a few hours like from 16:00 to 20:00 then go home and do our home work go to school the following mooring and so it all again the following day and on the weekends we would go fishing eariler in the mooring and make a full day of it, you knew it was Trout Season the car was always packed man how I miss fishing with my Dad and now my Son when he is on Base or Deployed, When my kids was growing up I loved spending time with them most of the time it was with my Son, I wish that I would have spend more time with my Daughter, Doing Daughter and Father things what we use to do ( my daughter ) that is was stay up late at nights when I was off watching movies and playing board games, But I have to admit that was a time that I really got stressed at work and to be truthful I was a real AssWhole, I thought being a good father was like being a drill SGT and that is not the way that it is It took a Heart Attack for me to see the light and know that God has given me a second chance to be a good father and I did take advanage of it and really wised up lucky for me it wasn't too late and I did get to be the father that I should have been all along and now my kids and I are really close and I love it being that close and you know people say that in a way you can feel your kids when they are in some type of Danger well that is very true I can scence it when my kids are in Danger or if they are sick and that is tough because they both are in the Military and normally get deployed at the same time I knew when my Son was sick when he was in the middle east and at times I can feel the stress that my Daughter has so being close has it's advanages and being a close knit family is the way to go no doubt about it
Well it is time for me to go I went on long enough for now so Take Care and as always God Bless
