Ramon's Story
Life
Well lets see...
I guess I am pretty happy although I am divorced. it wasn't messy..
I guess the worst is being away from my 2 daughters Heather Cheri 14, and Amber Renee 11. We are very close and I pride myself on being a good Father.. Atleast by thier accounts.
I had a beautiful Home (2 acre's-Swimming pool-Trampoline- four wheeler etc.) that they now live in with thier Mother.
I wouldn't have it any other way..
I provided a good standard of living for my wife and children.
I was Married 15yrs, My wife was 7 yrs my junior and of french descent.
we were pretty happy for the most part but I guess my job and our equally fierce independence had taken a toll.
I have been away for atleast half of our marriage and had been very busy operating a small Computer business while I was "Home" from work! During all this I was also building our home..It took me 4yrs of hard labor and many arguments as well!
So Here I am More or less starting over! but I feel much wiser and I only have one regret...Not spending more time with my family especially the children!
I hope to meet that special someone again and if it doesn't take too long hopefully have atleast one more child..I love kids and doing things with/for them.
when I was home! we played games hugged and really had just a good time..my girls alway's hug and say I love you at every possible occasion. They are polite, forgiving and sharing..all this credit is attributed to thier Mother mostly..From dad they learned courage, dedication,Will, Determination and Laughter.
Thru my...Expand for more
Computer Business I sponsered a girls Sotball team where I also coached Amber.. Heather played as well but on a different team.. The girls are so much like thier Parents.. They are fiercly Competetive but only on the playing field..they enjoyed softball from the age of 6yrs to 13.
they currently are running Cross Country and doing very well running 4 miles!
If I sound like a braggart-excuse me.
Out of everything I have ever done I feel "accomplished" when it comes to them!
