This and That About Neckties

Happy Birthday Dad!

I love you!

Actually this is my ex father-in-law I’m talking about.

He is like a dad to me. I have known him since high school, when I met and fell in love with his second son. Fast forward 12 years of living in sin followed by 4 years of marriage not working out, his son and I parted ways. It wasn’t easy. It never is. There were 5 years of bumpy roads between me,  my ex and his family.

In the end, we let our bygones be bygones, and re-emerged as good and then great friends. In fact, I am not stretching the truth by saying that we are family. That is a testament to who we are as people – especially considering the fact that there are no children and/or grandchildren between us as the typical binding glue. Think about that.

My like-a-dad and I have a great relationship. Whether we talk every day or once every several months, we are always happy to  hear from one another. We always pick up from where we left off. We genuinely like each other. How great is that?!

I cannot ask for more than the love I share with you, Dad.
