Father’s Day celebrates all of the men across the world who are not only fathers, but those who are ACTIVE in their children’s lives.

You see, anyone can participate in creating a child, but it takes a STRONG man to “parent” the child.

You are Needed

Father’s, you are needed! We are living in a world full of passiveness where anything and everything goes. We are living in a world where the absence of fathers is more prevalent than the presence of fathers. Our children need you.

You are needed because God created you for a purpose. You are needed because your role is significant to the success or failure of our children’s future. You are needed because without you, there is a void. Having a void creates a society of unfulfilled children looking to find their purpose in things outside of themselves.

Without You…

Without you, there is no balance. Without you, mothers and children are left carrying a huge weight.

Without you, mothers are left to play a role God never intended for her to play.

Without you, mothers are left to overcompensate at a higher cost to pay.

Fathers, You Are Needed.

Thank You!

Thank you to all of the dads who understand the importance of their role.

Thank you to the dads who didn’t walk away from their children causing traumas that the child will face for years to come.

Thank you for all of the days where you come home from work tired and still make time for your children.

Thank you for being providers without being asked or forced to.

Thank you for every tear you cry privately.

Thank you for being the strength needed.

A special Thank You to the Men who don’t have children, yet still play the role of a dad. Your are more appreciated than you know!

Bonus Dads

The the dads who raise children that aren’t theirs…. I’ve said it so many times and won’t stop:

Y’ALL ARE THE REAL MVPS!

It takes courage to carry out a task that is the responsibility of someone else’s. To literally come in, see a need, and take ACTION is the true definition of a LEADER!

I salute you!

My son has an Amazing Bonus dad who takes the time needed to ensure all if his needs are met with patience and understanding.

Lastly…

Thank you to my dad and grandfather’s who set the foundation for me in knowing what it means to be a great leader and dad.

Thank you to my brothers who spend time with my son to show him the importance of quality time and how men are supposed to behave.

Thank you to my fiancé for being the bonus father that my son needs.

To the times you’ve helped my son with his schoolwork. The times when you’ve said, “Let your mom sleep. Let’s go outside.” To the times when you took my son to the movies, car wash, car shows, grocery stores… The talks you have had with my son. Working on cars together. Simply calling to ask if we need anything. For going to work every single day and showing my son how a man takes care of his responsibilities…I could go on and on…

Thank you, You Are Appreciated!
