well some of you already know.but for those of you that dont know.

i got full legal and physical custody of my son yesterday.i wont go into detail as to why but i have him back after more than a year of not seeing or talking to him.im excited but nervous as hell.i dont want to mess up with him.i want to raise him right.i dont want his life to be a mess like mine was/is.i missed him sooooo much it hurt.and ya i have tears as i am writing this.i have my little buddy back to get greasy with again.but i dont know much about him anymore.i lost more than a year with him.he is smart as hell.hes in the 2nd grade reading and writing at the 6th grade level.he can spell real good,better than me and hes only 8 years old.i was a good reader and writer at his age as well.at his age i was reading and writing at college levels.wich is probably equivelent to the 6th grade now.he is soooo smart!!

i wanted to let everybody know sooner but his mother knows i come here.and didnt want her to get pissy and change her mind if she read anything i posted.i finaly got the kick in the butt i needed to get my life straightened out.i have that piece of me thats been lost for a long time.i love him soooooo much.

she already knows im a nutjob and so dont the courts.but the 2 of us agreed that he is better off with me and the judge agreed as well cuz i have the means to get him into counselling and everything else that he needs.i have health insurance for him and all that.but my health insurance isnt any good where he was living.

im gonna try my hardest to the best i can to raise him right.

Don't worry about trying to be the perfect dad. I don't think there has ever been a dad who doesn't wish in hindsight, that he could have done something different or better.

The important thing is just love him and be there for him. Do things with him, even if it just involves a bag of popcorn and a movie rental. Just try to be the best person you can be, and being the best dad will come naturally.

One other thing to remember, they grow up faster than you can blink. He'll be asking for the keys to your truck before you know it. Take it from a dad whose "babies" range from a college senior to a married 30 year old IS Engineer. Make the most of the time.
