10/28/24-The Boyz

I have struggled with writing about the boys here.  Who should I write about first?  Whomever I choose to add to t3e blog first might think that means I like them better or they are more important to me.  Or maybe they might think its better to be second because I was saving the best for last.  So I have decided to make this post about both of them.  And in order to protect their feelings I will be using fake names, Jeave and Steff.

Things I love about Jeave:

• Dependable
• Caring
• Hard Working
• Funny
• Creative
• Confident
• Honest
• Empathy
• Flexibility
• When faced with the opportunity to wrestle in high school he showed drive and determination to work hard in a sport he was relatively unfamiliar with.  This includes the will power and self control to "make weight."  I wish I had his level of self confidence.  

Things I love about Steff:

• Dependable
• Caring
• Hard Working
• Funny
• Creative
• Confident
• Honest
• Empathy
• Flexibility
• When faced with a tough life altering medical issue as a teenager he dealt with it better than most adults.  When I found out I was sick, I knew I could deal with it if I just used him as a model.

I like the fact that when there is a stumbling block in the house they pull together and work hard to get the issue resolved.  They are dependable.  I know if they ever needed to take care of Cindy or I they would do whatever they needed to do.

The thing I like about them the most is the closeness they have for one another.  I love to hear them in their rooms talking about football, or some Xbox game.  I hope that they will continue to best brothers and best friends for the rest of their lives.

When I found out I was going to be a father I was worried I wouldn't be a good Dad.  I don't know if I am or not, but I know I have two great kids.  And I am proud of them.  I can't wait to see all the things they will accomplish in their lives.

(By the way-if you figure out which kid is Jeave and which is Steff, don't tell them.  I don't want either of them to worry about which one is my favorite.  I don't want to wound their delicate Gen Z feelings).
