Simple Plan - Perfect Lyrics & Video

Amazing!

I was looking for an "anthem" song for myself, something to help me motivate myself.  I "was" considering "Perfect" by Pink, when I ran into this song.  This song says so much, so well.

I didn't realize just how much the lack of relationship with my father, has affected me.

So many times I have watched my friends interact with their fathers.....  I've watched with envy.  There is no judgement or condemnation in their relationships.   I just feel like there is just this big hole, void, where that relationship should be in my life.

I feel like I can or will never be good enough to warrant his time or approval.  I always feel the disapproval.  I honestly do not think that he realizes how the non-existant relationship, and past actions, have deeply affected me.  The ironic part is that I'm married to someone, who in some ways is very much like him.

I've always striven to be the kind of parent that never leaves a doubt in my children's minds, that I am "there" for them in any way, shape or form.  I will never judge or condemn them.  They are perfect to me.  I want them to always be secure in the knowledge that they are important and perfect to me, and most of all - loved by me.
