You know what I hate? When shit is going along perfect and then something happens and, just like that, nothing feels perfect anymore. It don't make any sense, how things can change that quick. But they do. And sometimes they're ain't no going back once it's happened

...if I could get there in five minutes, I would.

As it is, I'll be calling later. And not just to talk to the little bit, either.

For what it's worth...which probably isn't a whole hell of a lot at the moment...I'm sorry.

[sheltonb_lj]

I know ya would, D. I never questioned that.

You've got nothing to apologize for. Life goes on, Sugar. It has to.

Sometimes perfection is overrated, Shelton. Just let that sink in.

You've been a wonderful father. Don't doubt that. It seems like Mariah is more and more like you every time I see her. And that's a good thing, man. A really good thing.

Sorry we can't be there. When Dawn calls you, I fully expect to be part of the conversation.

[sheltonb_lj]

Hey, man...it is what it is. And now it's over. The whole discussion. So let's just all stop talking about it, okay? It's easier that way. You enjoy your time with your wife. Don't worry about nothing else right now.

Speakin' as a man with a young daughter and an ex-wife, I think it's about bein' there when you can. It's not always perfect. It's not always great. But you're there for her when she needs you to be.

And, hell, mine's got almost 2 years before school, and I'm already dreading it. She's got her father's stubborn streak too. At least she's on a Pop-Tart kick. That's something ther old man can handle.

Perfect and great it isn't. You're right about that, Mark. But I'm tryin'. At least I know I'm not the only one.

Most of the time I just deny the fact that my girl's gonna be starting school next year. It makes me feel too damn old. ;)

I've got two teenage girls. I'm estranged from their mother, and she's not in their life anymore. I kiss the ground I walk on because they've turned out alright. But you're a good man, Shelton. I know you're doing your best. Like the man said before me, it's about being there when you can. You love your daughter, and that shows.

[sheltonb_lj]

Thanks for sayin' all that, Glenn. Didn't really know anyone noticed. From all I've heard, both of your daughters are fine young women. I gotta give you props for that. I just hope mine turns out the same.

Thank god I had a son.

[sheltonb_lj]

Are ya kiddin', man? If I had a son I'd just lock him in his room and never let him out. I remember what a damn little hoodlum I was!

[m_jindrak]

HA! Yeah that may be you but my son is a perfect little angel. O:)

[sheltonb_lj]

Right! And my daughter is an innocent little princess. Ain't that how it always works? ;)
