Family vacation…

submitted by: Cubicle Dad

We just got back from vacation- a week down in Austin with my dad and step mom.  I could spend time recapping the trip, but I think that’d be boring.  I wanted to talk about father-child relationships.  I come from a “broken home”; my parents divorced when I was 8 and my dad moved to Texas when I was 12.  Over the last 20 years I’ve made 6 trips now.  Two trips came when I was 12 and 13...the third, after my dad’s heart attack when I was 24.  The fourth came a year or so later, and the last 2 have been in the past 6 months. 

My dad’s and my relationship has been rocky...though lately, better.  What changed?  Simply, Kaelyn did.  I think we both realized we could try harder, and have.  Our relationship is the strongest it’s been.
