Enjoy each others company !

Thats awesome Doug. I'm happy for you two that you could leave the past in the past & look to the future. I never had that oppertunity with John (my real father). I gave him a chance several times & he pretty much shrugged me off. His loss, not mine. He died several years ago & will never know what might have happened if only he would have tried.

Doug, I'm glad you and your son are growing closer by the day...You 2 certainly deserve it and it's obvious he's just as giving and kind as you are...I'm glad I got to know you and was able to help you out earlier in the year...By the way, that boat looks great man!!! I know you will take care of it, you certainly deserve it!

Doug, I dont know you extremely well, but the times I have been around you, it seems that your son took after his dad.
