*side note* Yes I know I'm mean. It has been told to me very clearly by many people. Now ask me if I care lol. Guess my "meanness" outweighs my "niceness" *shrugs*
Why waste all your years complaining about a man that wasn't present in you life? And then you wanna do it on a day when I'm trying to honor MY father, brother, uncles & male mentors? There has to be at least ONE positive male figure in your life that stepped up when your father didn't. May have been a grandfather, uncle, step-father, teacher, pastor, and the list goes on. Honor them instead of walking around with this chip on your shoulder for 20+ years of your life.
*side note* And mother's, if your child's father isn't around, find a positive male figure to mentor them. There are some things a woman can't teach a man and vice versa. (Don't get mad at me for speaking the truth. POW!)
I am honored and glad to have both of my parents in my life. And I'm even more privileged to be able to share them with the world! My parents have mothered and fathered kids that will never know their parents. If you don't have a mother or father present, I invite you to come hang out with my family and you can borrow my parents. We have enough love to go around.
And most importantly you have GOD who should be the #1 Father in your life. Turn to him when times get hard or when you feel alone or neglected. He can heal all wounds (created by bitterness) that no XY chromosome carrying male can ever heal.
With all that said, I want to wish a Happy Father's Day to my Daddy, my brother, my uncles, cousins, friends, and all the positive male role models in my life! I thank you for all the advice and love you have given me over the past 25 years of my life.
