Ok, so after a couple of negetive blogs, its time for a happy one.
I received perhaps the coolest thing a man/father can get. Being a single father has its own unique ups and downs. But there are times when it all comes together and forms a perfect union and makes it all worth it. I am a father of a teenage daughter. (some of you already know this). As some will know, teenagers are at that point in life when they pull away from the childhood, "my parents are gods" persona. They spend less and less time being a child and more time trying to be mature adults. For parents, its simular to loosing your favorite hat. You'll get by, but you just don't want to.
So, what was it that I got. I got a note from my kid. She wrote it in class. Ya know, just like the ones she writes to her friends. You have to let that sink in just a tad. I, for a brief moment in time, was equal to her friends. Whoooooooo HOooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How cool is that????
Once I read it, I told her that I had to share it in a blog. Because it was just soooo cool. She didn't object, soooo I'm going to share with you "the note".
Hola Padre!
never thought I would see the day when I wrote you a note. haha. Well here goes. I am just-a-sittin here in math class. I have already learned this material, so I'm good. :] I'm really happy about *****. (*****, is a girl she had issues with and resolved herself). Justin told me about ******** this morning. (********, was Justin' gf) as predicted. lol. Everytime I write lol, I think it says one-zero-one. my tummy hurts. "/ o well. Estoy cansada cuando yo en la clase de mathmaticas. haha for spanish. omg....I hate school. I " highly dislike" my bulldog 101 teacher.(thats homeroom) Stacey is in that class, which is kewl. I cannot wait for my bigg 16th! even if I don't have a partayy, I know I'll have funn. We should have a cake fight. lmao. that would be fantabulous! I should write you notes more often. okie dokie, well I'm gonna go. love you. Cya soon.
I omitted some names that aren't common names and added back story to some. But this is "The" note as she wrote it. I had to pick on her for how quick she would change thoughts. Also, she is taking Spanish as a second language, hense the spanish in the note.
So how often do you get notes from your kids?

Of all the gifts in life a person could ask for, the one most overlooked by many becomes a shining beacon of failed hopes to some. If there is any one joy I would ever wish for in my Life it would me the joy of being a father. Congratulations for having such a wonderful relationship with your daughter. As a single Father it is truly a blessing to be so close to your daughter. thanks for sharing.

My son has "allowed" me to be on his myspace page as well as facebook. He sends me the goofiest notes sometimes, and tells me how I'm the coolest mom of all his friends. That always makes me feel incredible.

That is really cool.........my son as a teenager and I had a relationship like that...I knew more of what was going on in his life than his friends.....my daughter and i didnt have that relationship...........today as young adults they both call me every day just to see how i am and tell me what is going on in their lives.
Sounds like your a pretty good dad and she realizes it.

Thanks to all. Yes, you could say that I'm just a bit happy about it all. Not to brag too much, but I have done a good job with her. The choices she makes and such make me feel good about all those times I was called a meanie.
