Daddy Diary 06-16-10



It's been a while, but I am back.
Les has benn on me to post some stuff on the blog, but I haven't had a whole lot of time. Thankfully, she is really good at keeping up with this.
She is the best.

With my first father's day coming up, I am starting to get excited. Not only will I have a weekend off, but I can be with my wife and child too. That's all the gifts I need. (But this would be nice http://www.saintsshop.com/saints/product.php?productid=17965&cat=388&page=1)
Just kidding.

As I learn what it takes to be a "good dad," every single day.
I can only look up to those who came before me.
Lesley's Dad, Tom.
My Brother, Joey.
etc., etc.

I will always strive to be the men they are.
Here's a funny story to illustrate. One day, I hope my child talks about me like this.
Lakers forward Luke Walton couldn't get away from John Wooden's preachings even in high school. Luke's father, Bill Walton, who played for Wooden at UCLA, made sure of it.

"We were in high school, my dad would write John Wooden's quotes on our lunch bag," Walton said yesterday after Lakers' practice at Staples Center. "They're simple, but all of them make a lot of sense. 'Be quick but don't hurry.' Simple but they make sense."
