FatherHood!

FATHERHOOD!

This shout goes out to all the singleDads and other guys who are out there caring for their children and taking care of business. 

Now dig this;  we actually deserve no credit for doing what we ought to be doing in the first place, thats called MANHOOD.  But for those of us who are doing it in one way, shape , form , or fashion,  Kudos to U and keep up the good.  Ya know, fatherhood is serious business, no matter if U are watering fruit from different trees, or if you are blessed enough to have all your fruit in the same garden, and believe me - in this day and age, we need all the divine help we can get to succeed in marriage and family. None-the-less, however you arrived @ fatherhood, wear it with pride, for your role is crucial to all who are influenced by you, [and more follow you than you know]. 

Do not be misled by all the “DUNCE” roles that the head of the household has been shadowed by.  Now-a-days its not uncommon to see everyone in the pride laughing at the Lion King, as if he is nothing more than a Krusty,  Homie the clown or  pussycat.  Well all of your pains and strains haven’t fallen on deaf ears, nor go unappreciated.  You deserve recognition for changing those diapers, wiping that runny nose, taxing to and fro daycare/school and those solo doctors office visits with  your little person.

           

           I took my son, who at the time was 2 years old, to get shots, and the courage that he showed amazed me.  I told him;”it would hurt a little and if he needed to cry, it would be OK, but I didn't want him to cry”. I held his hand….and just after the injection, and the silly look of indifference on his face from not knowing which response was appropo, trying not to laugh I said;”did it hurt?” and after a short pause to contemplate, loud and clear he said…….”YES”! But he didn't cry.  Its these such moments that are priceless, and what fatherhood is all about. 

Some of you might feel a little sour due to all the credit and admiration that your female counterparts, [single-moms] receive when they make it happen.  Well they’ve been doing it for years, so don't keep score,  rather than wait til someone else notices, its about time you got your due. “Continue on with your successes and feel good about them, find support and camaradiere @ this weblog where your fellow MENZCLUB members are facing and overcoming the same obstacles as yourself.  Report any and every inspirational experience, taking comfort that someone understands, and will grow from your experiences”.
