"You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you do not trust enough."
~Frank Crane
Dillon's baseball practice was canceled last night. The rain and park not turning on the lights at 7pm were the only factors a canceled practice. Cassie and I met Dillon's Coach, Coach Dustin. She and I very excited because the year before Dillon's baseball coach was not prepared/experienced in baseball. We trusted the former Coach for a whole season and just dreaded every game. Its an enormous relieve as a parent that the new coach has 12 years coaching experience under his belt and his team last season won the park championship.
As a new step-father I have to trust myself to be the best father/parent/step-father/johnjohn/steppy-d I can be. I am looking forward to making mistakes because I get to learn from them. The same trust I use for myself I have to make certain I have earned it from my kids and future wife. Things that are important to me are my random acts of kindness and the desire to participate in their lives. Whether that consists of practicing sports, helping with their homework, listening to their day, making coffee in the morning, leaving ninja notes around, or telling them I love them. I have to earn their trust everyday, day after day after day. That's what a family is, does, and strengthens. I believe so strongly in family and they are my family. Trust is number one on the Step-Father chart.
