My Son
Blog 4

Now there is an example of memories and observation, to which I’m sure I can not begin to do justice to in close to 500 words. All the way from his first breath, to coming up on his 18th birthday in less than 3 months. That boy has taught me a thing or to of course I have him to, that is my job and I do my best with what I have. As I had mentioned he will be 18 soon, he just received his learners permit recently so I let him drive me every chance I get. He has a very delightful girlfriend whom loves him dearly, as he does her. He is admired by many of people young and old, my landlord for example thinks he is a wonderful young man, as do I. he gets good grades in school, and is active in diving, band, cross country, and many other school activities. He is a hard worker, he has worked for the same construction company every summer for the last 3 summers, and I’m sure he will again. On top of that he does odd jobs of all sorts and mows lawns to make extra money, for what ever he has a already planned to purchase.
He has grown to be my best friend and sometimes that makes it hard to be dad, but I take a deep breath and do what I know is rite, if I did not I would be cheating him and I. Him and I have been through a lot together, we live alone just the two of us, and have for about 5 years. Before that it was him, his little sister and I so we have had plenty of time to bond. He stood beside me through 2 years of fighting cancer, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and numerous surgeries. He knows god and believes in his word, and tries hard to be a good Christian. He tolerated the days when I used to drink, and I know that sometimes that was hard for a young man. He has had to spend numerous hours home alone while I was working, but we had fun spending those paychecks on the weekend, I really miss that part myself, I bet he does to. He has had to deal with all the crazy woman in my life, but we have a deal about that they are not aloud to live here.
There was a time how ever when he was young and needed dad for different reasons. We had to go swimming, fishing, hunting, canoeing and many other activities that we both enjoyed. Ill be back to normal someday I hope and we can those things once again. As I said I cant do my son whom I love so much, any justice in 500 words, and I was correct because I have not began to scratch the surface of the memories or observations about this delightful young man, than I get to call my son.
