With this day in age of video games and tv and hustle and bussle, i cherish the time with my guys. Roland your a good man, depending on the circumstances, its never to late to start doing some things together.

My stepson turned 24 last month and has been working and out on his own after high school. He went to college one semester, but it wasn't 'his thing'. Don't see him too much, as he moves around where he can find work. I respect his independence. We do miss him though. Hope to see him around Thanksgiving.

He seems like a bright young man. Hope you see him as well.

Thanks Mike. We had done a few carpentry and mechanical projects together, when he was younger. He seems to be doing alright for himself. Has had some hard times, but he is working through them. I know he will overcome life's obstacles and be a better man for it.

It's all about attitude. Your problems are only as big as you make them. Been there, done that. Keep the faith, Zack.
