My twins just graduated HS. Attending UNC-Wilmington in August. Which is where they live with my ex-wife. I live a few miles away. They were both straight A AP students who could've attended many top schools. UNCW is actually a superb University, hard to get into. But my ex-wife is a cancer survivor. I know part of the reason they decided to stay home and commute 2 miles to UNCW was to stay close to her. They've never told me that and I've never asked. They've always been extremely kind and unselfish, which might be a bit unusual for teenagers.
I've done a lot of stupid things in my life but being their dad is pure brilliance.
If that's all I have to hang my hat on when I don't make the final cut, I'm good with that.
Whatever any of us Dads do in life, ain't nothing more important than being a Dad. Happy Father's Day to all of you.
