This year has been very interesting. For those who know the whole drama to your mama story about me will understand this post.
We are at the store and one of my changitos yells
Mom you can marry him so the whole store can hear
Or a friend comes to visit and they jump all over the dude.
But this last sunday was the real surprise when one of my changitos turned to me and said,
"Mom, I want him to be my dad". I almost started to cry but decided to hold the tears in since it wasn't testimony day and I technically wasn't hearing a sad story. I looked over to my changito and looked up to the fellow who was sitting right by us and whispered He can't be your dad I don't even know him. Since that day I have been thinking what it is like to feel wanted by someone so bad, that almost any stranger would do. Oh to have a dad. The memories that i can recollect are very blurry, and although i to was small just as my changitos are now. Looking back i now see the impacted that my own father had in my life, and how their father has impacted their life. This experience has taught me to love them even more. I would not and cannot change the outcome of what has happened or even replace what has dissappered but to try to understand that their feelings are real and that they are just as valid as everyone else out there.
So if you have a dad be kind love that father.
If your married and have a father for your children love him and look at the best qualities that he has kindly shared to the family.
We never know when or what impact our fathers, husbands or baby daddy's will have in our childrens lives so lets take care of them the best we can. There are to many fathers who are not seeing the need of being a parent or even caring to what happens to their children and are off looking for lost love in places they should have never been in the first place.
much love
Ray
