Making my way: December 2010
http://makingmyway2010.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
A single Dads journey through life's ups and downs. Thursday, December 30, 2010. The day I fell in love. I fell in love one day. In was a breezy and mild early winter’s day in New England. While the rising of the sun didn’t signify anything out of the normal for that day; for me December 30, 1999 will always hold special meaning. It was the day that I fell in love. It was in a non-descript room at the Jordan Hospital. I even remember the time. It is the deepest most heartfelt love that a person can have.

Making my way: Knee Deep in Mud
http://makingmyway2010.blogspot.com/2011/04/knee-deep-in-mud.html
A single Dads journey through life's ups and downs. Monday, April 11, 2011. Knee Deep in Mud. The mud just keeps getting deeper if you don't throw it back. I make no secret of my relationship with Teresa. I love her and I truly want to marry her and he with her forever and ever. What you have seen here and on Facebook has been nothing but positive. This is indeed what we are focusing on. I wish that was all there is. Unfortunately there is more. If you know anyone involved and you have seen the mud sling...

Making my way: The girl that changed everything
http://makingmyway2010.blogspot.com/2011/06/girl-that-changed-everything.html
A single Dads journey through life's ups and downs. Monday, June 6, 2011. The girl that changed everything. I wanted to date. I was lonely and unhappy at the time. I was single so I signed up for a couple of internet dating sites. I met a few nice ladies but nothing that worked. Actually it was very annoying. I met ladies that I liked and I thought MAYBE I could get to know and date but there always seemed to be some kind of hangup. I was getting toward the end of my rope. Love my Juice Plus! The little ...

Making my way: September 2011
http://makingmyway2010.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
A single Dads journey through life's ups and downs. Friday, September 30, 2011. I remember vividly walking through the hot and humid Alabama evening back in June of 2010. For all intents and purposes my life had fallen apart. As I stood on the edge on loneliness I knew that the road back was going to be a long one. I felt like I was at the rock bottom and it was time to climb out. If I had only known what was in store for me. I'm glad that I did not. Within a few months of my "Marbles" blog in June I wou...

Making my way: What if..
http://makingmyway2010.blogspot.com/2011/06/what-if.html
A single Dads journey through life's ups and downs. Friday, June 17, 2011. I miss my Dad every day. Sunday of course is Father's Day. The day we all celebrate our dads. The day we send cards or make a call just to say "hey, love ya dad." It's a simply day really. A day to show respect for dear ol' dad. This day had a different meaning to me this year. This is the first Father's Day that I don't have a dad to call. No card was sent. It's the first Father's Day since my dad died. Losing you was so hard....

Making my way: An 8 year old learns a lesson....
http://makingmyway2010.blogspot.com/2011/04/8-year-old-learns-lesson.html
A single Dads journey through life's ups and downs. Thursday, April 14, 2011. An 8 year old learns a lesson. I don't remember much about that day. I remember what she said and I remember crying my eyes out in the hallway by myself. No one to comfort me. No healing words. No should for support. Just a little boy alone in the hallway of a fire station in Pennsylvania. It started that night. It started when my mother uttered those hateful words. It was a slap in the face to me and to my name. Her last n...

Making my way: March 2011
http://makingmyway2010.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
A single Dads journey through life's ups and downs. Wednesday, March 23, 2011. I don't mind being alone but I don't want to be lonely. I've been sleeping alone for the most part for the better part of 9 months now. I'm used to it but I'm not comfortable. Why? Because I don't want to sleep alone. Does that mean that I can't sleep alone or I am unhappy sleeping alone. Absolutely not. It's just that is not the goal. I want to wake up next to someone. Sure we need someone but do we want someone? If you don't...

A single Dads journey through life's ups and downs. Wednesday, September 29, 2010. If I’d only known. It was November of 2006. I was on my bike and flying. 25 miles in well under an hour. 50 miles in well under 2 hours. Swim had been good. In the end I was 85. Place at the Half Ironman World Championships. If I had only known. That was 4 years ago. If I had only known that…. Within months I’d be changing diapers and feeding babies that were not my own in the middle of the night. I’d face bankruptcy.

Making my way: Birthday Blog
http://makingmyway2010.blogspot.com/2011/04/birthday-blog.html
A single Dads journey through life's ups and downs. Monday, April 25, 2011. Looking back over the years of journaling and blogging I am always mystified why, right around my birthday, I am always writing and rarely is it happy, good or positive. I guess for whatever reason the changing of my age gets me thinking about what was or what could be. I've never really figured it out. Looking back over the day that I turned 38 I can say without hesitation that it was the best birthday of my life. Believe me....

Making my way: May 2011
http://makingmyway2010.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
A single Dads journey through life's ups and downs. Monday, May 9, 2011. And no place to go. So I've been out of the country. (I've always wanted to just be able to say that. It's a good excuse for not noticing my own blog comments). Apparently I don't get notifications and anyone can post on blog who wants to. Learn something to everyday. Crazy I know, right? The comments were interesting to say the least. Honestly they are entitled to their opinions and I don't want to argue with what they said. This d...
