All I want is the truth, just give me some truth.. John Lennon

Just thought I would come out from under the sheets to show a little of what I look like. Let me know if I should pull he sheets back up!!!

I wanted to post this letter I wrote to my daughter.

She left this morning to go to a retreat with her classmates. She attends a Catholic school and around this time each year the Seniors go for a week to a retreat where they will try and discover who they really are.

The nuns asked that each parent write their daughter a letter. My wife informned me of this 2 hours before it was due so I didn’t have a lot of time.

This is what I wrote her:

Dear Jennifer – I was asked to write you a letter which will be read out loud in front of your friends. This will limit me as to what I can say because the last thing I want to do is embarrass you; your mother is in charge of that.

You are the one thing that I have done in my life. I wanted to be a baseball player but when I got to high school I realized I didn’t have the size or the speed to compete. I wanted to be an airline pilot but my vision was not good enough to pass the test.

I have wanted to succeed in a number of different things in my life but for one reason or another I was not able to realize my dreams.

In all of those years of wondering if I would ever be good at anything I never once thought to myself, how about being a good father. Heck, before you I didn’t like kids.

Well on December 26^th 1990 everything changed. When I held you in my arms for the first time and you looked at me and for one second I was scared. In that one second I realized I was now responsible for a human being. For one second I panicked. Then that one second passed and I knew right then why God put me here. You are the reason.

You changed my life. You made me realize what was important. I thank you for that.

I could have not asked God for a better daughter and I thank God everyday that you are in my life. I know he has big plans for you sweetheart. Just know that you may not know what these plans are right now but in his time he will reveal them to you. You just have to be patient.

May God bless you and everyone you know and love.

I love you,

Daddy

I need to come back here for my own good.

Help me!

I know I have been very neglectful regarding updating my Vox site but I just saw that I did not post anything the whole month of July!! This is the 1st time I missed a month.

I really miss connecting with you all here.

I am still alive.

I will try and get back here in the coming days.

Bye

I have not posted anything in such a long time.

I have been busy at work.

With my wife being home now I have to be careful with this because she just barges into my office.

Well she is going in for surgery tomorrow. She is having Spinal Fusion surgery. 

I still have some love in my heart for her so if anyone sees this please pray for her that she comes thru fine. Please pray that nothing goes wrong.

I appreciate any and all of your prayers.

Thanks

BTW - We are going to the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers concert at the Hollywood Bowl tonight. Should be a blast!

I will post on Friday. Going to be at the hospital pretty much all day tomorrow.

My dog. That is my daughters hand. Madison is saying "Back Off": 

Madison

Been going thru a real rough time in the marriage these past couple of weeks. This past week both my wife and daughter came down with colds. I have been lucky but last night I went to sleep around 9:00pm and woke up this afternoon around 5:00PM.

It is part cold part depression.

I have a new friend!! She works for the same company as I do. I have never met her in person. We have talked twice. Emailed 100's of times. She is really funny. I work remotely for my company so I don't get to meet a lot of my fellow employees. She has helped me thru this past few days. She is married too and she is also having problems with her marriage. Doesn't anyone have a really HAPPY marriage???

I have a picture of my daughter and her boyfriend from when they went to Prom a couple of weeks ago.

I want to post it here. You see my daughter is the only reason I am still here. Sometime that makes me mad. You know if she wasn't here I would be easier to just leave this place.

Well anyways here she is. The boy is really nice and I like him. He just graduated from High School. He played on the Baseball team. It's funny that when he comes over I walk by my daughters room and on the TV is baseball. She never watches baseball. She must really like this boy.
 
   

Happy Couple
