I never had a relationship with my Dad. His philosophy was children should be seen and not heard! When he got home from work us kids didn't bother him. He sat in his chair, grabbed his miller high life and watched football, baseball, or basketball. He showed his love by providing for us.

With my Son I tell him all the time I love him. Give him hugs, advice on school, life, friends, family, all the stuff my Dad didn't do. I tell him how I want for his life to be better than mine. He's a smart boy, but I know one day he will make his own decisions and hopefully he will keep what I told him in the back of his mind.

Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
