Wow, I never realized how important father's day is to so many. My dad bailed on me when I was 5ish. Through the years I know I became a better person for not having him in my life, but I always notice when men are good dads. It is so important for kids to have a male role model in their lives, expecially a positive one. I have met men who are just AMAZING dads. I have met men who suck as dads.
My friend Forrest is one of the amazing one's, in fact he is one of the best dad's I have ever met. His relationship with his daughters is absolutely beautiful and you can see how much they love and respect him. Sometimes they would rather give up social events because they miss him and want to see him, that speaks volumes!!! His girls are as amazing as their dad too!!! It's just nice to see a man incorporate his children in his life as part of it, instead of a chore and inconvenience.
I don't know how I ran on that tangent, but it must have been for some reason. Anyway, yes, I always notice good dads and maybe secretly envy them. I didn't realize how angry I was about my dad until I had my son and then the anger amplified when I saw him for the first time in 31 years, last December. In my eyes, he isn't worthy of the phone call to say happy father's day, but that's just me. I resolved the anger problem and moved on.
Dad's are an important role in their children's lives...they are the protectors, by nature and when you feel like you have no to protect you it sux!!!
Anyhoo, I still enjoy my life and everything I encountered, endured and survived made me who I am today :) And I like me, everyone I meet may not but ha! that's their problem lol!!!
Love you world!
