One single dad's POV.

As someone who was raised by a dad two things struck me about this blog post. First, awww : "They must always be about the little ones who give us their trust that we’ll behave like adults, and so, bring grace into our lives."

Second my father had a different social experience with being a single dad. For whatever reason, he seamlessly stepped in to the mom social world, and his close friends became women who were also raising children. My father credits this to the fact that he is short and ugly and women just assume he's not hitting on them unless he gives them good reason to think otherwise, maybe there's some truth to that. I think it's because my father always saw little difference between men and women and treated them the same in friendship, which is part of the reason he raised his daughters so successfully.

On one hand, I think this column is great; OTOH, it's space 'lent' to him from another columnist. Here's hoping that William McCloskey will get his own column.
