It's those past experiences that often help us to become better for the sake of those that will come along behind us. Our past can either make us bitter or better. I have made a conscious decision to become better. I had a great childhood (although it was difficult at times) but I do not ever want my children to have to go through that hurt that I experienced as a child. well said. fwiw - I agree with a number of your points about how the past shapes our present, etc. and improves the future for those who'll stick it out with us. good words sir. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueHusky79 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Ditto, my feelings as well. Especially learning from my past experiences to avoid repeating any dark moments.My intentions, have always been to provide my daughters with a far more positive, fun and loving childhood. Motivated that my actions will create positive memories for them. That they in turn would build upon & then practice within their own lives and relationships.Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sound like you are indeed the great father you are striving to be. I've seen the "best friend" metioned here several times. I think this is key to a great marriage. My wife started out as friends. We went on "dates" together and for the first month, all we did was hold hands. We enjoyed simply being with each other. I'm confident we will not experience the empty nest syndrome because our children are a HUGE part of our lives but they are not our lives in it's entirety. We still do date night once a month, just she and I, leave the 4 kids at home. It doesn't matter what we do, it's just the point of being together that matters. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be it, or slow learners ? Congratulations to everyone, look around, there are way too many loons out there now, it's now mostly the "what can you do for me" attitude.
