Each one of us has a father. That one, strong pillar and protector of your world. The one wall that always remains standing after a storm that brings your entire world grumbling down around you. You know you can always count on him. It's a maternal instinct for a father to be protective.
This post however, is for those people out there who have no father figures in their lives. Some have never met them and they have amazing single moms. Some have and lost them(may their souls rest in peace). Some just don't get along with theirs.
If you have never met your father, don't despair. Look around you. Surely there is a father figure in your life. May be an Uncle or a family friend. That one man who is always there when you need him. If you have lost yours, this day may be a reminder of what you don't have. But why not count your blessings and be grateful for the men who play that part in your life daily? And if you don't get along with yours, maybe because he denied you the love you so dearly deserved by renouncing you even before you were born, well, that's his loss.
And if you have tried all to reconcile with him and failed, at least you tried. If you haven't, why not? Learn to forgive their mistakes no matter how vile, because a forgiving heart is the most peaceful.
And for all men who know they have kids out there and just won't be men enough to take responsibility, shame on you. You grew up with a father and you're denying your child the same privilege you had. And if you never had a father, you surely know how hard it's been for you, so why want the same for your own child?
Happy Father's Day
