After such a crazy day today. I finally sat down for the first time and checked my phone. Then read this DM...... Alyssa... I cannot express how much your message touched me. I’m not sure if it’s that picture of your dad, or the circumstances of his passing. Or the special bond between you and him. Or maybe it’s the combination of all three. First a foremost you are so lucky to have had a good dad. The memories that you guys made will stay with you forever. Nothing can ever change that. I have 3 daughters that are 15, 16, 24 years old. On any given day, one of them has some personal stuff going on that I struggle to help them with. Today happens to be one of those days. I would say barely 40% of the time I say the right thing to make them feel better. The other 60% of the time I say something totally wrong that makes them feel even worse. This is something I’m sure other dads struggle with(at least I hope it’s not only me). Reading your message showed me exactly how much I matter in these girls lives. Not just today, but forever. So I need to keep trying hard to get my average up higher. I’m sure this wasn’t your intention of your message. But thank you for kind words, and showing me that a dads love for his daughter is something very special.
I’ll be praying for you.
Jesse.

@popeofwelding , thank you for sharing Alyssa’s letter to you about her Dad and the connection they shared through you. Her letter and your response touched me in ways neither of you can imagine. I lost touch with my Pops for different reasons than Alyssa which isn’t something I’m quite ready to share. It’s been 16 years, when he’s ready I’ll be here for him just as I am for my two adult boys 27 & 28. Your post today has resonated with me as I’ve always not said the right things, or been where I needed to be although geographical distance has separated me from my boys due to our lives taking paths of our own volition. I almost lost my oldest 3 years ago to suicide, it was the worst time ever I’ve experienced. My wife and I did everything, then one day I told him I loved him more than my own life (that day I knew what it truly meant to be a father). Patrick wanted to travel and see if he could heal, so we financed Patrick’s lifelong dream of backpacking across the country from NY to CA where we now live. It was the best thing I could have ever done as a father although many questioned my choice to allow an emotionally unstable son to go out into the world just he and his dog. It was the right choice and it worked. We are right about more things than not Jesse, our love for our children our experiences and our wisdom leads us to the truth. Alyssa your Dad loves you still, from above just as he did while beside you driving from Carson to LB to catch that glimpse of Jesse. Trust me I know that kind of love will always last. Well In trying to keep this reasonable and to the point, thank you both for sharing something that has truly touched my heart on this special day that has half’s of my heart in two very different places. It’s reminded me that my role in my two boys life is so important and helped me remember why I’m on the path I am leading my life as I should stepping forward as a father and man to set the example that’s lead my boys to freedom, life, and success. I wouldn’t be half the man I am without either of them. God bless you both, you will remain in my prayers for wisdom and healing. Happy Father’s Day

I'm my estimation 40/60 is a good ratio and just the fact that they come to you makes you a great dad. I have a 17 year old girl and can relate to this so much. HAPPY FATHERS DAY.
