fathers day breakfast

so i took today off because Johnathon is having a fathers day breakfast at school and there was no way that i was gonna let him go with out a father figure, the sad thing is that his dad will probably be there with one of his other kids.

I can't understand for the life of me how men can do that shit take care of one or two of their kids and abandoned the other ones like they do not matter or exist.

all i know is he is a great kid that has not  deserved to be hurt the way that he has been and i will do every thing that i can to fill that void in his life

one night we were having a get together and one of the guys here said that he could never be with a woman who already had kids cause he was not going to raise someone else's kid but every kid needs and deserves a mother and a father and the sad truth is very few kids anymore have both

i raised 3 kids for 8 years and as far as i am concerned those are my kids, flesh and blood .cause i would sacrifice my own flesh and blood to save theirs, no it is not easy being a step parent in fact it is probably 3 times harder than actually being their parent. cause if something goes wrong the person you were with can take the kids and legally you have no rights there is nothing you can do about it or the heard so often" your not even my real dad{or mom}" and kids never realize that they are exactly right your not their real parent that didn't want to be there for them you are the person that is there day in and day out leaving never once crossing your mind your only concern is their happiness and well being and it can be very hard at times not to just give up.

but now 8 years later all the hurtful words and all the nights wondering if they would ever even understand how much you love them and how much you had sacrificed for them has paid off in the form of my oldest son Dan he is such a good boy and every day i think about how proud of him i am he does not know it but i brag on him every chance i get
