Responsibility

Surprisingly, for a time in ones life where one might think regrets would abound, I have few. These two pretty ladies are one and admittedly a selfish one. Selfish my regret is that I couldnt have enjoyed and participated in Erika's childhood and that I hadnt known Pammy earlier in my life. Logic tells me the Erika I know and adore today would not be what she is had anything changed early on. Accordingly, I must extend Kudos to her Father Randy and thank him for a wonderful person he helped create. All musings aside, I do believe responsiblity is a forgotten practice . I believe in an effort to heighten status, improve lifestyle, a want of material items we have forgotten what is most important, Our Children. I think it is reasonable that a Father be more than simply a spermdonor, A Father is an essential part of what a young lady sees when she looks at her first boyfriend and attempts to decide whether he will become a good father for her children. A Father also teaches his sons how to respect women and be good fathers on their own. Within my lifetime Mothers decided there are more worthy persuits than raising children, of course that didnt mean that they would stop having them simply that they would work a few more hours, buy a larger house and farm those kids off to a daycare to be raised. A reasonable person might ask; If Fathers no longer take responsibility for their children and Mothers have abdicated their true obligation, nuturing, why then would anybody be surprised if kids are making all the wrong choices? Early pregnancy, Drugs, risky sexual behavior, Ultimately who is the arbiter of all things Family? The Government? Some think so. Obviously I do not , I would simply throw out a word forgotten because of it's importance ......Responsibility.

As always with Love,
Tony.
