My job....

I was watching TV last night and "John Q" was on. I like this movie but watching it last night made me miss my daughter even more than normal. It also made me think of a conversation I had with my sister a couple nights ago about who would "John Q" themselves for the kids in our lives. I am also thinking about "my job" as a dad, and what it means to me. Like as a parent I think it is our job to first and foremost to raise good kids, who will eventually be good wives and husbands and themselves good parents. I also want to say to my dad.....good job. Parenting to me is an adventure that is constantly changing from day to day. I mean I am a man raising a girl who will one day be a woman. I will be the first to say I have no idea how a woman works or thinks or anything. I can also say that the fear I had when I first started keeping Aiden has never really disappeared, it has faded into the background more as I have become better at being a dad but yeah it is still here. I have those fears that I think every parent has, you know that everyday things like safety and health stuff, but on top of that I have the fear of one day not being able to relate to my daughter 'cause she is a female......but that is a few years down the road.
