There is something special about going to a Leafs game together.

From the Gardens to the ACC, memories have been made that last forever and today I'm in a position to make that happen for a reader of this blog.

The Leafs have given me some pairs of tickets to give away for the first pre-season opener against the Ottawa Senators. It's the "Coke Zero Fans First Game" on September 21st.

And yes, as some of you know, I broke up with the Leafs a few years ago in this video. But that won't stop me from giving someone a chance to go :)

So here's how to win the tickets, it's pretty simple:

1. Leave a comment below on why you should win the pair. Since this is a parenting blog, saying you'll bring your kid, or your parent is probably a smart choice :)

2. Tweet this out on Twitter: UnDaddy and #CokeZeroFansFirst are giving away Leaf tickets here! http://bit.ly/undaddy

That's it!

I'll pick the winner after the day is complete.

*UPDATE* We extended the entry deadline until Friday, but I'm also going to give away two pairs of tickets. One pair to the best comment from Wednesday (to be fair to the original promise) and another pair to the ones from Thursday/Friday

Good luck!

I am not a single dad. Never have been, never will be.

I haven't gone through this alone.

Even when I moved into my one bedroom condo by myself, not knowing what to do with myself, I wasn't alone.

When I got visitation every other weekend, I wasn't carrying the flag.

When I got custody, I wasn't holding the trophy of "one man can do it".

When UnJr's mom passed away, he didn't have "only one" parent anymore.

Here's why:

1. I have the most supportive family a guy could have. From a mom and siblings, calling them best friends wouldn't do it justice.

2. Friends with open doors and open ears, unconditionally.

3. My virtual world, that showered us with support when the unthinkable happened.

4. My girlfriend of many years, Tammy, who is more responsible for the great upbringing of my little guy than anyone. Without her, we would play Xbox 24/7 with 9 day old clothes on, eating chips. They (Tammy and UnJr) were in a car accident 2.5 years ago, where they were t-boned by someone who didn't understand the concept of a red light. She sustained brain damage on both sides, endless, daily pain, vertigo and hasn't been back to work since. And yet, everyday she tells me she loves me, and is more of a parent for UnJr than I could ever hope for. I don't get to have her join me at most things because of her brain's sensitivity to light/sound/movement but it makes me no less proud and grateful that she is with us everyday.

Just thought I would give readers the back story into my world, to let you know although I respect "single dads" on the highest level, I've never been one.
