An Introduction of sorts...

Welcome to A Single Dad's Life. A blog founded with the purpose of documenting the everyday happenings of a 37 year old single father of three girls.


On to the Intro!


  You can say I've become an old pro at this gig, having enough experience to basically write a book about my adventure as a single parent. The book is in the works, however I wanted to start blogging and vlog as well. I've never went full bore out with a daily blog. It's not that I haven't tried, but in the past when I did try I always grew tired of it rather quickly for reasons unknown. It isn't like I have a busy social life or anything of the sort.

No, for some reason I lost the desire to write. It happened at the least opportune time. In the beginning I had the fire, the passion rather to get my story out there. The problem was the audience was always the same, my friends and family members that already knew the story like an old nursery rhyme. The more I thought about it the more I decided that my story was no different than anyone elses and that no one wanted to hear my sob story.

See, I'm an expert of talking myself out of things.

Ok where was I? My story isn't that hard to explain, Young man meets a young woman and falls in love. They later get married and soon start a family. Some where along the way and two children later they buy a house. A year into the new house and baby number three is welcomed into the world. I thought I had it all, a great job, three wonderful, healthy girls and the woman of my dreams... Oh how soon those dreams were shattered, sorry I had to throw that Johnny Hates Jazz reference out there.

There were many times I wish I could have ran away but I didn't. I tried to save my marriage, it was a futile effort as I was the only one making any effort to save the sinking ship. So I put down the bilge pump and let her sink. It was a tough decision, almost eight years later it was the right decision.

On January 3rd, 2008 I took sole custody of my 5, 2 1/2 and 17 month old daughters. Scared to death, but I knew in my heart what had to be done. Fast forward to today, August 11, 2015. My oldest daughter is starting her 7th grade year, my middle daughter is in the 6th and my youngest is in the 3rd.

We've come a long way since that faithful winter day. I hope to share the rest of our journey with you.
