Songs and poems. Never published anything, just entertained myself really.

If you’re interested I’ll share something with you. I’d be happy to read something you wrote.

It was my whole identity before these kids.

Crazy thing is, I was almost done raising them. The kid that was my youngest will be 15 very soon. I required total isolation to write, and naturally, that wasn’t happening.

When her mother and I split I ended up with a woman a lot younger than me. She wanted kids, I love raising them, so we’ve had two. One turns three this month and the other turns two next year. I’ve started all over.

I don’t regret it. I’m exhausted, but I don’t regret it. It’s been a lot of fun. My back don’t hold up like it used to, but I do my best. I’m a million times more patient this time around.
