This is when I say some loving words about dads. Allow me to be frank, if not crude here, I am not referring to sperm donors. No. What I want to bring some deserved attention to are the real men who step up and take care of the children given to them regardless the circumstances.
These are those:
• Who do whatever the job calls for no matter how tough or thankless it seems sometimes.
• Who pace back and forth at two am, colicky baby on a tired shoulder, even though he has to get up and go to work in a few hours.
• Who go to work and provide for their families, sometimes two jobs if necessary, putting his own desires aside for as long as it takes.
• Who take every opportunity to spend time with their kids, reading to, teaching how, sharing, kissing boo-boos, answering toy phones, sipping pretend tea, building lego space ships, dancing with, laughing with, mentoring in as many life skills he knows.
• Who are strong to discipline and hold accountable in the short term for the sake of a good long-term.
• Who never stops fathering even if he lives somewhere else.
• Who never allows any other relationship to supersede the love he has for his child.
• Who never puts the value of money and possessions above his child’s best interests.
And if the kid(s) he is fathering does not share his DNA...
* He does his job as though he never understood DNA anyway.
Happy Dad’s Day to all the men who are real father’s, you are the true heroes.
For Him,
Meema
Yes to all this. Especially Legos.
