I, mean, really?<br /><br />Ok... so I am a guy and I am commenting. As I am in the minority, I demand my inalienable rights... I don't know what they are but I want them none-the-less.<br /><br />I wonder if boys can grow up to be men with the boy still stuck inside and still be a good father. I still feel 17 inside my head... just not in my body. <br /><br />As far as being a good daddy, it takes a certain amount of being scared to death about screwing it up. I am so thankful that my daughters love me so much that they still give me hugs and kisses... even though I am no longer cool.<br /><br />Coffey.. is that like the drink, just spelled different? Do we have to let them get married? I, mean, really?

Ok… so I am a guy and I am commenting. As I am in the minority, I demand my inalienable rights… I don't know what they are but I want them none-the-less.

As far as being a good daddy, it takes a certain amount of being scared to death about screwing it up. I am so thankful that my daughters love me so much that they still give me hugs and kisses… even though I am no longer cool.

Coffey.. is that like the drink, just spelled different?

I enjoyed reading your open heart pour out the many ways you feel in rearing both your daughter and son, both with different expectations but both with the love of a father trying to raise them to be Godly men and women. And now I feel bad because I didn't even think about writing a post about Fathers Day but instead wrote about 'The Post Office at it's Best'. Shame on me. I regret not doing a posting on this myself. Ugh! You seem to be doing a great and aweoms job Billy in raising your kids to be the upright and healthy minded children with a loving home and mother and father who support and enjoy spending time with them. Praise God for you incredible expressions of love for your little ones. <br />Your sister in Christ,<br />~Sarah Oh Billy, what a touching and very honest post about being a father.
