As you said, it was all a choice. Just think what you would have missed by making a different choice for YOUR life as well as Patti's and Megan's life!! Trust that I know what I am talking about when I say, it's all worth it!!

These teen years are about to do me in, although he is a good kid. <br><br>You and Patti have done a wonderful job raising a fantastic young woman. Megan is probably a lot more mature than most kids her age and probably has a compassion about her not found in a lot of kids that were raised by two able bodied parents.<br><br>(shh, don't tell Matt, but in his younger years, he was known to play Barbie with girls from school :)<br><br>bettyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19312567.post-19651308182678031102006-09-25T18:00:00.000-04:002006-09-25T18:00:00.000-04:00That is why I nominate you for BEST FAMILY AWARD. ...That is why I nominate you for BEST FAMILY AWARD.

I mean, from Above? <br><br>You switched gears as needed, you chose family, you took care of your beloved, and became a full-time dad in tune to his daughter's life. I've heard the stories where the marriage suffers because the one must care for the other in what seems to be an imbalance of giving. How many of us could actually say without hesitation that our spouse would take care of us so readily, with devotion and an eye for the needs of the one weakened by a deteriorating condition? And you have more to tell us, that even so, it was equal partnership in your story of parenting. I'm thinking we have another Saint Patrick of the Caregivers among us! You are a saint in my book. <grin> beaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19312567.post-89798713583125427692006-09-26T20:11:00.000-04:002006-09-26T20:11:00.000-04:00You did a great job Patrick!
