It's cool hearing so many people saying "Happy Fathers Day" to all the dads out there, but I just want to express my opinions about today. First off, just because you have kids it does not make you a father. There are so many kids out there growing up without a Real father, and it makes me sad. Any man can create a child but only the Real Ones become fathers. Here are a few thoughts of what a Father is to me.
I have said before that I am blessed to have my father and grandfather as blueprints of what a real father should be. They have been role models to me and I pray that one day I can be just like them. They are protectors of their families from any form of outside harm. They are the rock that everyone in the family will go to if they need help. They know something about everything, my grandfather would read the paper everyday and he was a walking history book. Even into his 80's his mind was sharp. They hustle hard to provide for the family. I never remember my father only having one job, he made the means justify the ends. They command respect by the way they walk into a room. It is something about their swag that makes people listen. While they are kind and loving, they are also feared. Nothing in this world scared me more then when my mom would say, "wait until your father gets home!". They have what I call "man strength", it is different from being strong from working out. It is strength that comes from a life of hard work. They have a side to them that only those close to them know about, it's what makes you special from everyone else they know.
I could go on for days about the strengths and qualities that a Real father must have, but I just want this to be a short blog for fathers to read. This is just a thank you to them and so they know how much we admire all that they do. So to all the fathers out there we thank you!
