I know some of you will remember a while back when me and my man were fighting to gain custody of his nephew Kenny.. Well, I just thought I would update everyone on this.. Took me awhile to figure out how to put this up and where to put it..
I'll explain a little first of all..
After we won that particular case.. I grew closer to Kenny, as anyone who lived with the little guy would.. but, in my case, it was different. I began noticing that he looked a lot like I did when I was his age.. Which brought back memories of a relationship that didn't work out becuae I was lied to.
I dismissed it at first, thinking about how it was too big of a coincidence, and that the girl I remembered didn't look much like his mom.. but, the more I tried to forget it, the more it pushed its way into my mind.
Finally convinced myself that it was possible, though why she didn't have me on the list of potential fathers is something I don't understand.. and something the courts are probably going to look into. Because we had a paternity test done on wednesday.. and yesterday we got the results back...
Happy doesn't even come close to describing how I felt when I saw the results... I am his father. This briliant little guy is my son.. Its an amazing feeling. I would have cried right there if he hadn't made a bit of a joke.. but thanks to him I was able to control myself until we got to he car.
I didn't tell many people about this, because I didn't want to get my hopes up.. or anyone elses.. But those who I told about it before were very supportive. :)
Some people say that being a parent is hard work.. But, I don't care how hard it is.. It's worth it.
