I've come to realize that one of the biggest ways God blesses me is the way he saves my kids in spite of me...How they manage to be such decent, kind, friendly, outgoing kids despite having a mom and dad who are stressed, frazzled, tired, and grumpy most of the time it seems.

Perhaps I'll email you the details. Though I have forgiven my ex-non-wife (I found out that we weren't legally married in the middle of the divorce). Friday Night Lights? Is that a TV show or something? I've never heard of it. Besides, I don't even have a TV on the truck. My biggest problem is that I'm never around to be with them. I spend 3-4 weeks out on the road, go home for 3-4 days (we get 1 day off for every 7 spent out of the house). And when I am home, I have a certain busybody step-family member that gets in the way of my doing anything with the kids. Though I have been conspiring with my dad (who has managing conservatorship) to bypass Mrs. But-in-ski. He's on the road a lot with his job though, so things don't always work out.

I do pray for you though. Ever watch Friday Night Lights? There is a great scene where the parents Taylor admit they have no idea what their doing. That is where I am, but I know I want a couple things with my kids. First a relationship that is built on trust and good communication (that will be a challenge for me, because yah, me and talking, not so great, especially about my feelings) and Second, I'm in it for the long haul. They'll never have another Dad, and I'll never have another Lauren, Brenna, Daniel or Michael. I plan on living a while, so they'd better get used to me. :) Keep hacking, work on the small things, and do them well. You'll be rewarded.

You are so lucky to be able to grow into being a parent as your kids grow up. With the nasty business with my ex-non-wife and now being on the road, I never had the chance to grow into being a dad. Frequently I find myself at a loss on how to deal with certain problems (especially those involving a certain adult, if you know what I mean) when I am home. I'd appreciate any advice you can give me. That’s an awesome story, Jon. You are so lucky to be able to grow into being a parent as your kids grow up.
