dad

rain

happiness is music
but most of all happiness is being free to be yourself and being content with
that. i am happy. there is no pressure in my life from outside forces to change.
i have friends i enjoy online and off. and i have children who are happy to be
themselves too. while we have struggles we are trying to over come and make it
through, we have each other and no longer feel constrained. in a way, i can't
really ask much more than that.
