The guy who pregnanted my birth mom? :pacspit: never met that bytch mafukka

My dad who adopted me who I think is the best man in the world just retired from UPS :salute:

Money wise? Working at AT&T, Chase and Verizon in those years yeah ive mad more money than them combined (they didnt make much.. UPS and moms was a secretary, but always made sure food was on the table and clothes on me m n my brother back and the bills was never late :salute: )

Success wise? They have everything to show for the money they made, cars were paid off but they recently just got a new car, house paid, fixed the house up over the years.. While ive made more money (on a year to year comparison), I dont have shyt to show for it, except I own a car and still owe on it..

im tryna convince my baby mama to name our kid after my dad shes just tryna say the middle name... I hate this bytch :to: cant believe im havin a kid with her :to: always thought id be able to name my son (if she ends up giving me a boy) after my dad
One could call son by the middle name

Pops was in nursing for most of my life then went and got his Masters and got into psychiatrics. Became the head of a program called Detroit Central City that focuses on the homeless and recently released from prison and tries to keep them off drugs and out of jail. It's funny as fukk going downtown to meet him for lunch or coffee and all the bums are calling my dad by name :russ:

He did really well, but most of it came after he and my mom divorced so i really didn't get raised by that guy. I was raised by the irregular shift, scrubs all over the house, A&D ointment smelling dad. My half brother and sister may have gotten the material benefits. But i was the only one that got that "Dad and Me" time, cuz he worked nights. So Saturdays consisted of breakfast, Spiderman/X-Men cartoons, Football and Streets of Rage 2.

My pops ain't perfect but i'm proud of him and i want to make him proud of me.

Also a surgeon. Works for Cigna. My dad made more money for the first ~20 years, but being an arrogant a$$hole has taken it's toll on his business so he's not clearing nearly as much as he used to while her career has gone nuts at Cigna.

:wow:

I got a homie that he an his wife are surgeons man their kids are gonna be set for life :whoo:

He worked for himself as a welder, then he worked secret service for the President of Haiti. Now he drives a school bus and is counting down to retirement.
