Even though there has been a couple times in my life that my dad wasn't the nicest. I'm ok with that right now. He is a wonderful man, and I know he loves his kids! He has been through a lot in his life....4 kids, 2 divorces, the death of his dad, almost cutting off his leg with a chain saw only to lay in the woods for 6 hours by himself in pain b/c no one could find him. He is a very brave man! I felt like I needed to post a positive blog about him after the sad one I posted when he was upset with me. Its easy to forget these times, b/c he really is a good person. He raised me and while I did wish I lived with my mom, I was ok living with him. He was there for me a lot did things for me that he wasn't that into, but knew it made me happy so he did it. I do blame him for me being a clean freak. We always had to have a clean house, which is good, but I do feel like he was a little obsessed with it. Now I'm obsessed with it. I guess thats not too bad of a thing, sometimes I drive Big J crazy with it, but I do like to have a clean house! My dad loves his grandchildren and would do anything for them. Even though little J cries when he holds him, he is patient with it and gives him time. eventually he opens up to my dad and everything is ok. So I just wanted to say that I do love my dad and he is a wonderful man!
Than next guy on my list is my half brother Micheal. Even though we have different moms, I don't see a difference...I see him as my brother. I do have 2 half brothers. and while Jacob is very special to me as well, he is a young punk right now...he is in that teenager stage, but I still love him, and he is very special to me. He wasn't home the other day when I went and spent the day with my dad, so I will post about him another day...haha.
Right now Micheal has left to go work on a barge boat. I am very proud of him, he doesn't like to be away from home. And I know he would rather be spending time with family and friends. He has taken this wonderful opportunity and is now making really really good money! He is home 3 weeks and works 3 weeks, but he still gets paid when he is home. I'm just glad he did something like this!!! He loves being an uncle!
I just really love these guys and felt that I wanted to let others know how special they are to me.

I always feel the same guilt you felt! I hate to think poorly of my parents because in the end i know they loved me, did they best they could, and had a sh*t load of stuff to deal with themselves. But that does give me hope that where I mess up in my kids lives (and I know I am going to and probably have already), they will forgive me and know I had a bunch of crap to deal with too. Great post!
I agree with Amy ... great post.
I have dad issues too. I try to see him and accept him for who he is. Sometimes easier than others.
