By the time I came along, I was my fathers first child, he was 50 at the time. I was my moms 7th child, 6 were from a very abusive previous marriage. She My Dad was 48 and my Mom was 34 when they met. My Dad was a local wheeler dealer and did very well for himself being self employeed, Was a touch of a ladies man as well. hehe. So when I came my Dad was 50, he left most of the care giving to my mom, I think he was afraid he would hurt me or not do something right. He started buying me farm toys before I was born, just cuz he knew he was having a boy. I can honestly say and raise my hand to the Lord in oath he has never once raised his voice at me, even when there were a few times he should have! The first time he "spanked me" I was sitting in my high chair and I kept kicking the table, he asked me to stop and I didn't, so he tapped my leg. I cried and my mom said that he cried more than I did. He has been patient, supportive, and has never once told me there wasn't anything I couldn't do. Hes 82 now, and has had a couple scares over the last year but is now doing well. I just had my first son this week, and if he feels about me half as much as I do about my dad I feel I will have done well. A Father loves, gives, and sacrifices whatever it takes to take care of his family. Yes there are testing moments, temptations, and down right hard times, but a real man has the lord in his heart and will never stray from it. I Love My Dad dearly and dread the day that he isn't with us anymore, whether it be in 2 years or 20 years from now. Im sorry that your father treated your family as he did. I hope it made a better man out of you. While yes you should love and respect him, I can see how it would be hard to. Maybe something will come of it and he will see his faults and ask for forgiveness before its too late. I think Good Dads are hard to find these days and if you have one appreciate him that much more.
