About 2 years ago I decided to show up at my son’s bus on a Wednesday morning and bring him to breakfast and chat and drop him at school. This had become our every Wednesday routine no matter the weather or if there is school or not. It has brought use tremendously closer and added more and stability to our lives. Towards the end of last year, his 8th grade year, during a discussion with his guidance counselor she said how he had improved exponentially across all areas. Grades all raised, respect and attitude towards fellow classmates and faculty improved with incidents becoming virtually non existent, and he picked up wrestling finishing #2 in the Tri-County area in the 184 weight class even tho he only weighed in at 172!! I had something to look forward to on hump day , so much that I have trouble sleeping on Tuesday nights. My mental health soared. It has reinvigorated myself and pushed me to start living and creating goals to substantially improve the quality of life across the board. While now launching the ideas I’ve had for years to create a strong future for us to come. He doesn’t know how much his I wanna see you dad, I miss you dad, and I love you dad texts and calls mean to me. I believe he doesn’t think I’m serious when I say that he has literally Saved MY Life!! I love all my@babies with every ounce I have and I thank God everyday for blessing me@with them and that we are healthy and make it through the day! It’s amazing how something so simple creates such a positive impact across the board!! God Bless!!
