That’s awesome!! I ran track in HS too! I wish my dad would have been able to go to my meets, but he lived 4 hours away! But your daughter is right, it’s just background noise. You don’t hear anything except the voices you want to hear, (lol not a nut here) and that was my coach and my teammates!

you are indeed a great dad....and you read the "I don't know" exactly right. but a little advice from been there done that...DO NOT MISS A MINUTE...she is almost in college...living on her own....et cetera. Before you know it these chances will be gone. Colleges only have Parents' Day once a year...(twice if she joins a sorority) And after college? well...trust me you can only visit them at their offices once or twice a year. katherine.´s last blog post..In Idaho…they are just a little more free…

Only twice, I think? was I unable to drive the hours it’d take to get to one of my daughter’s competitions when with her dad / his girlfriend. It really does make a difference to our children, and they notice if we just show up, or if we actually watch and care, too:) I’m glad your children have involved and caring parents.

There are lots of things we don't feel like doing but will if we know our kids are counting on us. I don't always feel like reading books at bedtime or going to my son's school assembly but I know he'd think about it later if I didn't go. So I do.

My daughter is soon to turn 25 and the memories formed by attending scads of dance recitals and dramatic presentations are as fresh as the experiences you describe here. There is nothing like a Dad 'being there' for his daughter - even if- he doesn't live with her full-time. Goodonya, David. SoloDad´s last blog post..Summers: Hard Times for Working Solo-Parents
