Anyone can father a child....
But it take a special person to be a Dad.....
Glad you overcame the adversity you experienced in your early life....
Given the facts, I would change my name as well....
Just don’t choose Obama, Biden, Pelosi or Reid :^)
Reagan would be nice.....
Basically I look back upon my grandfather as being my ‘dad’. No nonsense, farmer (retired when I was with him), kept a gun by his bedside, religious and stern..............
“I demand the right to change my name. Maurice Ogleman is simply not dignified enough”
“But sir...”
“I demand my rights. I’ll stomp my foot until it happens and I will sue for discrimination”
“Ok...what name do you want?”
“Spanky Wankerman and I want to hyphenate my husband’s name. His name is Carmen Shakedubooty”
Thank God you had a positive male influence in your early life.....
You were blessed....
As the last survivor of my given surname, I believe it was a very loving and thoughtful thing for him to do.
However, I wouldn’t ever expect anyone to do it for me. I’m into tradition.
Heh, Honey Badger don’t give a sh*t! ;o)
