I need the strength to be the best dad possible.
 

I just found out that my sons mother just passed away (in California) and that I need to go out there and get things in order to pick him up. Its a blessing because I want nothing more than to have my son, but it will be very tough because he has always lived with her. Im about to find out what being a single dad is all about real fast.

I know very little details beyond that, but if you could, please send a prayer for me to keep me strong through all this.

I will update you all as I get more information...

Wow condolences on the mother, how old is the boy?

Always remember your priorities and you will do fine. Best of luck Boss. The world needs more good parents.

Wow. That's tough. I'll pray that you receive the wisdom to listen and learn on the fly. Being a Single Dad is a tough job.

I'm no single Dad, but my wife travels frequently for work. When she gets back I'm very thankful that I'm not a single Dad. It's a lot of work, but also a tremendous opportunity to build one of the strongest bonds humanly possible.

Good thoughts headed your way.

All best your way, Boss. Having the desire to be a good dad is a pretty damn important first step.

Wow, I can imagine being heeled by that one.

Best of luck to you. You seem ahead of the curve already.

Sorry for your family's loss and good luck. Just remember to make decisions based on your son's best interests and you'll do all right.

thanks for the kind words and support

Best of luck and thoughts to you.

Holy shit.

Hang in there, BC. I'm sure you'll do great.

Once you get used to your life being turned upside down, you'll be just fine. Condolence on his momma though.
