It’s not easy being a single dad. Ever since Danny came into my life, he’s been the center of my world. Every decision I make is with him in mind. Not that I’m complaining. He’s absolutely wonderful. Even as he’s gotten older, he barely even tried to rebel. It’s hard to think of him as anything other than amazing. I was never really all that close to my old man. He was always so distant and preoccupied. Even as he’s become a part of Danny’s life, we’re still always at arm’s length with each other. I didn’t want that for my boy and I. I know he’ll be out of the house before I know it, and I want him to know that he can come to me for anything. Of course, just saying that feels like a cliche. And while Danny has heard me say it, I want him to feel it. I want to be close with him. No secrets. No shame.
