Trust me, Derek, your kids appreciate you. When they start getting to know the fathers of their peers they will see how amazing of a Dad that they have. My father ... we always overlook his problems because he does too. But when you take a step back and look at the whole picture it's just so damn amazing. It took going away to college and his 60th birthday to realize the craziness of his predicament. I mean... it just hits me harder when he's not around all the time and I see more fathers who are not disabled. I appreciate every moment with Dad.
