Yes! I hope he enjoys it! I couldn’t get to the last meet and greet to get a Gilbert auto...
I was getting worried!
It’s Beck, Kirby, Lipscomb and Evan Russell!
I think Trey is signed in orange.

Sometimes I can hear God laughing at me. A woman was made to get on your nerves & help you to stay on the right path. Things will be OK .. He always says w/confidence..

Not a whole freaking 5 pound bag full. Now, a box of Oreo cookies & a tall cold glass of milk is a different subject.

My daddy passed away when I was only 10 yo. I know what you're talking about. Didn't really show love to us either. Never came to a ball game or anything .... I guess he was too busy working & on the road to put food on the table & pay those damn bills.

Unfortunately my father was verbally and physically abusive. It was for the best that he wasn’t in our lives.

For a reason imo. You lived it so YOUR kids won’t have to. Maybe someone has huge plans for your kids or even your grandkids...
I mean that in the most sincere way and hope you don’t take it as me being disrespectful.

Don’t worry, I do not think it is disrespectful. I’ve always told myself that God has a plan and things happen for a reason. I could’ve easily gone down a path of destruction but chose the other path. I still pray for my father, that he finds peace and happiness. Maybe one day he will make amends. Either way, that is out of my hands. I’m blessed to be where I am at in my life. It was a struggle, but I have become a better person because of my experiences.

I took two weeks off from work whenever my son was born. Had to use paid time off but it was something I wanted to do. I don’t regret it one bit. I told myself that I was going to be the best father I could be because my father never really showed us any love. Those first few weeks are critical for baby-parent bonding also.

I took 12 weeks off and don’t regret it a bit. My dad was around but was always “too tired” or “too busy” for us and we were told not to bother him. Before you knew it, me and my sister were off to college without even a memory of him saying that he loved us. Work will replace you in a day, but your family can never replace you.
