Why I Do TommyLog Videos

Someone asked me where the TommyLog video series started and why do I do it?  So for today’s Tommylog, lets dive right in and do some explaining.

I need to go all the way back to TommyLog #1. The only reason I do this is for my Kids. Madeline, Clara and Tommy. As a divorced father of 3, I don’t get the quality time with them that their mother gets. What messages am I going to instill on them and what will my legacy be? What will I leave them? Some dads leave their kids large sums of money or huge debt, I can’t say I’m leaving either. But what I can say I’m leaving them are small words of wisdom and life lessons they can take with them and use when they are parents.

This is what i chose to leave my kids and if it helps others, bonus.

TommyLog – Emma Helps Someone at School

Emma had a really neat experience at summer school yesterday. There was this girl, a few years younger than Emma who was sad to be leaving her mom. Emma reached out to her and made her feel safe. Emma set such a great example.

TommyLog – Just Needed a Hug

Sad sad story from work. had a co-worker who lost her son to an apparent suicide. Not sure what to do.Not sure what to say. All I could think about was going to meet my oldest and give her a big hug. thats all i have at this very moment. So thankful for the blessings I have and not sure what I would do if I lost someone close to me in that manner.

 

TommyLog – Handling Adversity

This morning I received a phone call from an old friend and she told me that she was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. I have known both her and her husband since grade school, and even though miles separate us, she thought enough to contact me and tell me the news. What really set me back in my seat as I’m listening to her story… she could only think about her husband and asked me to reach out to him.

What an amazingly powerful woman. She wasn’t sad as she told the story, she was as peppy and happy as I have ever heard her. She wasn’t worried about herself… she was worried about her husband. How amazing is that?? THANK YOU for thinking about me and bringing me into your circle. Now I can cheer you on as you enter a new stage in life and see if i can help your main man a bit as you work through this together.
