Curveballs

Boys...... there are a few things that I would like to say to you. First..... having you three in my life is the single greatest gift that anyone could give to me! Before I had children of my own, I was very content with my life. But..... looking back, there was definitely something 'missing'. Having you all in my life...........makes me whole! I would have never known 'true' happiness if it weren't for you three!

I look forward to waking up in the morning, simply to watch you guys sleeping! Th… Continue

Some of these things you may already know, but, nonetheless they are always worth repeating. Live by these things and I promise you will live a fulfilled life!

O.K. here goes:

Remember that I love you...........with every ounce of my being! You are all my light..... and my way!

Always give people a firm handshake..... it sh… Continue

Their eyes!!

My boys eyes



My boys eyes tell me that tomorrow will be a better day!

My boys eyes tell me that I am their rock!

My boys eyes tell me that I am their hero!

My boys eyes tell me that sometimes they are scared.

My boys eyes tell me that they trust me with their very lives!



My heart tells me that because of these very little lives.... failure is not a option!!

My heart tells me that because I am their hero, I have the responsibility of training them to be heros too!!!

My heart tells me… Continue

True Love!

Just the other day... my 10-year-old son asked me... "what is true love?"

First thing that came to my mind was "wow.... what a very grown up question? Is that my 10-year-old that asked that??"

I didn't even have to think more than a second before I had the answer. I simply told him... "it's what I have for you son". "What do you mean dad??" "Well... you know how I just look at you sometimes and without even saying a single word... a smile comes to Daddy's face??" He said, "Yea" "Well.... that'… Continue

Any advice for me raising a young boy who is all boy? He can actually hit a baseball that I throw to him and he is only 3. he does good at hitting the ball off a tee but not so good at catching. I have a trampoline in the house and a big one outside so it cuts down on him jumping on other stuff.

I can definately tell you love your kids alot. It is awesome to see that. I may have to borrow the things you told your boys about things they need to know when my son is old enough since he wasn't able to hear that from his daddy.

Hi Billy Ray-I just stumbled across your page for the first time today, and saw that you have three boys. Caught my attention--I do too. If you don't mind, I think I'm going to show them some of the things you have written to your boys--mine would probably like it a lot.

I agree 100% with you. I find it really hard to forgive my son's father for everything he has ever done to him. He never apologized. I want to forgive him and when I look at him I try to act like everything's fine (for the sake of my son) but I ca...
