Sorry it took soooooooo long nanananananana batman and I had some difference and I'm going solo on this one. I'm going to try to update soon, be nice and tell me what you think.

I look around the bus full of testosterone, that's what happens when you put a bunch of teenage boys on a bus going all over Illinois. I look over at my son who plays the sport because he loves it, not because his father forces him like mine did. No 2 am practices, no running 5 miles end every day, no screaming at him when he doesn't win.

I look back on my high school wrestling career and I thank God that he brought Ally into my life. She made me realize that none of it mattered. I felt so bad after that detention in March, what I did to Larry was uncalled for. Just thinking I get a cold chill running up my spine. I remember how mad my dad got when he saw Ally and I kiss outside the school. He yelled at me all the way home then yelled some more when I got out of the car and into the house.

That was the first time I ever stood up to him.

He was sitting in the living room, his face was as red as a tomato and the vein on his neck was sticking out so bad I thought he might have burst a blood vessel.

"That girl is no good for you Andrew!"

"I think I know what's good for me dad."

"Your seventeen you don't know anything about the real world and if you blow your ri-"

" If you say if you blow your ride one more time I might have to hit you and I'm a lot strong them you so it will hurt. I'll be what dad I'll be like you? No I won't be because you are trying to live your life through me and I'm done being your puppet. And that girl isn't just some girl she has a name and it's Allison" I start to walk to the door.

"If you walk out that door I'm done with you"

"Well I'm already done with you, so I guess it will even out."

I start thinking about my kids and how I have always let them live their own life. Kara, Kendall and Erin, Kara is 20 the oldest she is most likely to take charge and if she does she goes all out. In High School she was an all-star runner. Kendall is 16 and 5'11 and can lift 800 pounds, people don't usually mess with him. But he is very shy and outspoken. He has his mother's hair and my eye, I remember the day I first saw those eyes so vividly.

I was pacing in the waiting room, the doctors wouldn't let me in apparently men don't do well when their wives are giving birth, "they get in the way" the nurse said. So for 12 hours I had to hear my wife scream out in agony. I ended busting in the room I could take the waiting as I ran in my son was being born. I ran over to my wife's side and held her hand. Then I heard my son cry and the doctor yell it's a boy. The nurse put him in my arms and I looked into his eyes, my eyes. I remember wondering if this is how my father felt ,that was the day I made a promise to allows let them live they own life's.

Erin on the other hand is 14 and 5'1 and is a little ball of energy, she has pink running all over her hair. When she was little I use to call her my pixi princess she was always so small and fragile. She is very much like her mother, she loves art any kind it be a painting, poetry, but overall she is very much in to photography. But one thing she didn't get from Ally and me is her mouth, she will say what ever she wants too that sometimes gets her into trouble. I say it's because she hangs out too much at the Bender household, everyone know that the Bender kids are a lot like their old man is, but some of them still got some Claire in there as well.

Kendall walks over towers me and sits down.

"Hey dad you ok? You look like spaced out for a while."

"Yeah it's just been a long drive."

"Yeah I know I was wondering if you could tell me what happened after detention"

"Well…"
