When I was growing up my biological father was not around. However the man that was married to my mother was around and he is a very special and important part of my life. His name is Joe. This cache is based on and dedicated to Joe.
Joe is a truly special kind of man; you see my mother and Joe were already married when my mother became pregnant with me. Joe is the type of man that stayed with my mom to help raise me even though he was not my real father. He stayed because he loved my mom and he never questioned her about the strange circumstances of her pregnancy which he was not a part of. That is a special kind of guy.
When I was told that Joe was not my real father but that he was around for my mom’s entire pregnancy it made me a little curious about the strange situation, when I asked about my real father my mother told me that he was a good man and that I would always have a special connection to him. She said he was a very important person and the reason he was not around was because his place was not here with my mother, she also told me that he would always be my father and that I would always be his son. So I lived my life I grew up with Joe and he was an amazing stepdad.
Joe ran a wood finishing shop in the Small town where I grew up. Besides wood working Joe enjoyed brewing his own beer and wine. He would often let me make my own batch of wine that is where I got my wine making talents from.
When I got older and developed an interest in ice fishing, even though it made him nervous Joe would let me walk out on the frozen water of the lake by myself where I would drill my own hole in the thin ice and proceed to catch what Joe always said was a miraculous amount of trout.
When I developed a keen interest in the art of wood work and carpentry Joe got me many of my own tools and he took the time to teach me how to use them safely but then he would leave me to my own creations popping in every now and then to tell me what great work I was doing.
He always said the kindest things about my accomplishments. Giving a young teen space and freedom but still keeping a watchful eye while handing out supportive compliments is a very important part of being a good parent in my opinion.
The things Joe taught me were some of the best lessons in life.
