Letters for my Children to read

This blog is for my children to read in order to understand how I feel, even if I don't have a chance to share it with them because of the divorce and the fact that we do not live in the same house. When they are older I plan on sharing the fact that this blog is for them. I do not plan on using any details that would identify them.

Cars can cause a lot more problems when it is cold


It has been almost two weeks and you have not called me for a ride or need to jump you car.

When I left work and last jumped your car, I tried to explain how the cold effects the starting of the car and the need to turn off the radio and heater before starting to get a good charge and leaving work during your break and turning your car on for a few minutes during the day to avoid having it sit all day in the cold... it seemed you were listening...

Two weeks no call for a jump or ride ...great...

Let me talk to you now about those parking tickets ....

Making it to your first high school wrestling practice


You could have not made it more clearer to me when you said a couple of years ago
"Dad... I don't want to wrestle..."

So, when I became an Assistant Coach at the High School we had a chance to talk about the subject again...you said you didn't like wrestling when you were younger because you felt you weren't "strong enough"...

When you agreed to come and practice with the team last week, after watching the first meet, I was surprised.

You got dressed, we spent about 15 minutes going over the basic moves and you had a chance to wrestle "live" with a couple of our wrestlers and just from the brief showing...you demonstrated what I always believed....

You have "fight", you are athletic and you are a hard worker... you are a wrestler...
