Happy Father's Day

I want to dedicate this to post to all the wonderful fathers out there, especially mines. Fathers play an important role in their child's life and whether they know it or not without them things just wouldn't be the same. I have friends that don't have relationships with their own fathers and I see the differences in their lives and mine.

Without my father I don't think I would be as headstrong and self-motivated. One thing I've inherited from my father, besides his feet (yes I know I need pedicures periodically lol) and his forehead, is his work ethic. Like my father before I take a new path I do plenty of research and think the situation through long-term. 

I appreciate all that my father has sacrificed and done for me and my family. For always being there and supporting us when we really needed him. Thanks Daddy, I love you. ♥ =)

I hope all of you celebrated your amazing dads and gave them the appreciation they deserve. For those of you who don't have a tight-nit relationship with your father, I hope that you've used today to make amends. 

Once again, Happy Father's Day!     

Tyrese Gibson's Father's Day Poem

I am more than just a man.. I am a father.

Actor Tyrese Gibson is known for his roles as the "baby daddy" in Baby Boy and Waist Deep but to celebrate the joyous occasion we dub Father's Day he expresses his feelings on the responsibility of being a father. With the experience he has gained raising his 3 year old daughter, Shayla, in his poem he gives his advice to all the 'real fathers around the world':

On this day, we as fathers are celebrated around the world...

I am more than just a man.. I am a father.

A boy is excited about the opportunity to be a dad.  

A father is more focused on the "Responsibility" of being a father.

As a father it is a responsibility to create the standards in our kids' lives,  I am not just semen. I love you, and you love me and in our family we created "we" in our children... 

I am power, I am intelligence, I am education, I am integrity, I am God fearing spirituality,  I am consistent... 

As a father, sometimes I have to be away. I am constantly in the field hunting for my family's survival. 

I am king therefore you are my queen. President Obama has created a new standard and removed every excuse a black man could ever have of NOT being a father...  

I am more than I appear to be, I am more than just a man. 

I....AM....FATHER!!

Fathers... Even though it seems like your effort is sometimes overlooked, God is watching and he knows your heart. 

To all of the REAL FATHERS around the world..

Through good, bad or ugly relationships with the mother...

If you are NOT there for your kids, it is ONLY the kids that suffer in the end.

Take a stand and do any means necessary to be a part of your kids lives.

God knows your heart... God bless all FATHERS around the WORLD for Father's Day! 

Salute!!
