Stay-at-home dad

think of home. However, I don’t think of home in the way that most people do. When most people think of home, they think of a location, a house, and then the people and memories that make that place home. But for me, I only think of the people that always made any place home for me. I grew up a missionary kid where the place I lived never had much importance to me.

I had to go to practice anyway, I got home and I guess my mom knew I wasn 't going to go so she was waiting for me and brought me back to school for practice. She dropped me off and didn 't say a word. I was wondering why she didn 't say anything. I texted her when she left to say…

I have wondered what life would be like without them, but they are here and I love them to pieces. If you were to overhear some people talking about you, what would they be saying? Although I am outgoing, people do not assume that about me because I stay to myself. Folks that know me would be saying something totally different than the people that do…

I did though. Zach turned out to be a pretty friendly kid. Within five minutes, he was teaching me a game called ball tag. We played that for an hour straight and eventually people started joining our game. I made other friends that day, and I came home from school…
