The first year I dropped of my son and daughter was tough.
It got considerably easier.
Sometimes it's good when they grow up. My son came home today to help me put in a ceiling fan.
Sometimes they still need help, even though they're supposed to be already grown up... He was remarking how hard it was to find 5.56, and of course how the price has jumped if/when you do find some. Had to be the good dad, and bail him out. What if the situation we're in keeps getting worse, and he gets caught with no ammo. Sent him home with a few extra mags, and about 1,500 rounds. Also gave him my old battle belt, as he just has a vest right now.

I've been there and done that. Unfortunately, mine was a bit tougher. Today, we said our final goodbyes, to my Dad.
He was 89, and had suffered from dementia for quite a number of years. While his passing is a blessing for him and the rest of the family, that doesn't make it much easier to handle, right now.

Man, imagine when all the grandkids have a couple kids of their own, your going to have to take out a second mortgage and rent a conference room at a hotel to do christmas lol.See avatar. 9 grand daughters and 4 great grand kids. I boy in the great's.
It was tough when my oldest son went away to Indiana state, tougher than I expected it to be, after he graduated he got a great job in Lafayette Louisiana, it was horrible the day he left. I was a wreck but, being me, refused to show it. Anytime my wife wanted to talk about him being gone, I’d change the subject. It was that way until we went to visit him a couple months later, and I saw that he was surrounded by good people and had an amazing job. All of a sudden, my first born kid was a man with a lot of responsibilities, and he was handling it well! We made that trip several times while he was living there, and have some great memories of the place. Last year he landed a job back here, and we hardly ever see him.
