Happy Father's Day

Only comes once a year, the event. But his job as a parent is 365 days, which never ends. It takes a boy to make a baby; it calls for a man to raise one. If you find a man out there taking care of his own kids, that's rare. We should give him credit.

What makes him a father? Things he buys or gives to his kids? No! What he does from his heart without being told. Plus giving his honest attention on demand.

When I was growing up as a kid, my grandmother raised me. I didn't have my biological father around. He was locked up in prison. I was told about him by other family members. I never met him until I turned twenty-one years old. It hurt me so bad. I needed him in my life while growing up. I missed out on so much without his presence.

I feel parents should be in their children's lives at all times. No matter what the situation is. They're innocent human beings.

I don't have any CHILDREN. If I did, I wouldn't neglect them like I was as a child growing up. I would love and support mine until the end of time.

Fathers out there: raise your children with a woman or single. Stand up. They are special, and you only get to be a parent once in life. And, believe it or not, you need those kids like they need you. If you are a true father, I congratulate you for your hard work all year long. Plus patience. It takes a real man to do a job. Continue to shine like the sun.

Happy Father's Day.
