Fathers Day

The most wonderful feeling I ever felt is when my first born was 4 years old and she grabbed my hat and put it on her head. “I am you” she said. Melted my heart immediately. See I grew up without a full-time father. Part time. Part of the time he wanted nothing to do with us. I had to let go of that pain. Due to the fact that it is my turn to make sure my children do not feel the type of pain I went through. For that very reason I am a proud father. I haven’t giving up. I took the hardest road. I am not perfect as a father but I try very hard to be there for all of my kids. Not only physical but also emotionally. Our generation have to break the stigma of being emotionally closed so we have to open up and make sure we listen to them. Kids can also teach us many things. So before you tell them to shut up because you are “annoyed”, listen up. Appreciate every single minute with them. Get off your ass and play with them. I know work is good but every minute you spend with your kids its a blessing. They deserve it all. Fatherhood is sacred and it’s the one thing I treasure the most. I know it sounds corny but I love being a father every day. Also I am proud to be a godfather to a wonderful young KING and I love it.
Today I shout out to all my friends!! I am proud of everyone in my inner circle who is a father. Everyone is a great father and I’m so proud of all of you. I also want to shout out to all the grandfathers who stepped up and took care business. Today is about making sure everyone gets their flowers while they still can smell them. No matter what, be the best man you can be and that will translate you to be a better father. Take on your responsibilities and fears head on. Your kids will see that and they will appreciate it later in their life. It will push them harder than any lecture you throw at them. Just as I notice later in my life that living without a father is not normal. We cannot normalize abandonment in a child’s life. No excuses, be great, be proud. Have a beer, smoke a cigar and make sure you tell your kids ILOVEYOU.

Peace and Love
