Comments on: Father's Day http://johnrlong.com/2006/06/18/fathers-day/ I just blather on and on about stuff that interests me, mostly politics and sex and sometimes movies and art.

Perhaps one of the greatest gifts you have given your children is unconditional love – you offer that freely to all. Your naked honesty accelerates your ability to build warm and lasting relationships. There is no such thing as a perfect parent! I think you should measure yourself on your best days rather than your worst. You are awesome!

It is 8:30 in the a.m. and as usual I check your blog. Thank goodness we can pick our friends—the parents we are given is a crap shoot and with the roll of the dice, we get what we get. I wish you could have had a better father. I think the awesome guy that YOU ARE would have been so spectacular we would have needed sunglasses to even watch you from afar.
Love ya!
