On this Father's Day, I am wishing my kids, a Happy Children's Day. Without the children we help bring into the world, we wouldn't be dads.
I am a proud ... a very proud ... dad. NO greater title I've ever had, has meant so much. And with that, so much responsibility.
Lord knows, I've made plenty of mistakes in my life, and as a father. But for the most part, I've done okay. And my kids ... Well, they are very productive, hard working, honest and respectful kids. While I had a hand in that, as well as their mother, I really have to hand it to my kids for taking all they learned, the good and the bad, and doing well with it.
I know other dads too, who have done so much for their kids, and their kids honor them with being good citizens. What a gift back to us, the dads. Happy Father's Day to all you Dads out their.
There are those, who aren't involved. Or those who misdirect their kids in such harmful ways. It's tough being a kid, when those all around you, specially their own dads, are cheating them out of all the chances they should have for better lives. There are those too, who don't want their kids to have better, or who bring such pain upon their own children. I can't wrap my head around that at all. Even for kids I don't know, my heart hurts for them. They deserve better, much better.
But this annual acknowledgment of fatherhood, this Father's Day, marks for me a renewed thankfulness for my kids. I'm am honored, every day, to be their dad. They make me look better than I am, by being the good citizens they are.
I will enjoy in my Father's Day. But I rejoice at being my kid's "Dad". Thank you! And thank you God, for such Blessings.
To my kids, with all my fatherly love,
"Dad"
