Reply to "Worth the Drive?"

You're asking a guy who has literally done 4 hours of driving for his son to attend a 2 hour practice. (Several times.) Two hours to get there, two hours at practice, two hours to get home.  Oh, and there were many times where we left at 5 AM to make said practice.

The way I looked at it: If it was going to help, why not?

Plus, I have never been that dad who is too into his own stuff and would go golfing or be on a fishing boat all day and ignore an opportunity to do something for his kid. I would rather drive two hours, sit in a parking lot for two more hours, and then drive another two hours...if it was beneficial to my kid.

Also, I wanted to set the example for him for when the time comes when he has his own kids: Being a parent means making sacrifices and putting your dependents ahead of yourself.
