As I travel back to NYC, my thoughts wander to my future. I just saw my godson & it rings of a possible future for me. What things I could share with a child? Where would I start? These are the things I ponder. Raising a child definitely shows you who you truly are, in the fact that your actions determine how this child thinks, views, & reacts with the world. At times I shun the responsibility, but then I think about my dad. He was 23 when he became a father, & he was far from perfect. There was probably a moment he said "Eff this..." but then decided to work it out. Why short his son of a father? My dad didn't have his father full-time, so my father wanted to break the cycle. Great thing cause I came 6 yrs later. As a man I learned from him that problems come & you deal with it as a man does. Is the solution you have to your problem the right one? Not always, but it shouldn't deter you from at least trying. So I'm at least willing to try, because you can only fail by not trying.
