Funny- how before I was married, I didn't even like country music. I guess people do change and to say that I have changed from marriage and kids, is an understatement. In a short period of time, less than 3 years, my thoughts, behavior patterns and habits have visible changed; I like to think for the better. From quitting the occasional smoke, going to bed before 11pm to listening to Country music....I sometimes think I'm changing so much, so fast, I don't know who I am. Above all, as a parent I'm now more patient, something I never was few years back. Being patient is a gift, because with patience you take the extra few seconds to recognize the moments in life that are significant....including hearing a song on the radio in a genre I used to not like!
Kids are not patient, even some grow ups don't make it "there", but should there be a day when LittleYO reads this blog....the secret to the sauce kid, one the ingredients anyway, of success is patience. This song reminded me of my DaddyYO and how much I'm probably like him now. Although our father-son relationship was short lived (he passed when I was 18 yrs old)....there was a lot I needed to figure out on my own. It was hard and still is but what I learned from GrandpaYO is and will be passed on to my son.
I pray LitteYO listens to me, but makes his own decisions. I pray that he is polite, but still says what's on his mind (without offending anyone)... this is one, I'm still working on. I pray that I will be around for LittleYO's blog in his future and share with him the moments I never had with my father. More importantly, I pray that no song on the radio will remind LittleYO of who I was and who I still am when he is older and to be able to pick up the phone and talk to me in his old age.
...and if your anything like me, being a parent makes life pretty amazing..... Enjoy.
