  • Yesterday I said to my son “I’m disappointed in you for not catching that fish” (he came so close to catching his target prize fish but it got away).

    I felt pretty bad and didn’t mean it one bit, I just said it the wrong way around because i was exhausted. Then I spent the next five minutes explaining that I’m absolutely not disappointed in him and that he is an awesome fisherman and that what i really meant to say was that I was disappointed FOR him that he didn’t catch the fish that he had been trying so hard to catch for months.



















  • If i read a note like that from one of my kids I would be doing the exact same thing. They are the biggest thing in the world to me and I would be doing everything in my power to reverse it.

    It really sounds as if your Dad loves you more than anything else in the world and is willing to make the sacrifices needed to ensure you can be the best you can be and that he won’t lose you.
