Fathers day just passed and it was a day to remember..Acually the whole weekend was classik but i found myself thinking about how I have grown as a man since my first child in 2001. I now find myself not only living everyday for the foundation that i have built but I am also looking at other men in society who acually run from this blessing. Not saying that there is anything wrong with not being with the mother of your child but please be there for the child. Not just on holidays and Birthdays, i mean like daily. Even giving them a call on a daily basis is a good stepping stone for a strong relationship with your kids. Check in with them, see how school was today, check to be sure their homework is done, or pick them up and take them to the library, not just to the park or to go shopping for toys and what not. Thru my kids, i can see that the little things are the most important things that make them smile. The help with the homework, help with reading, help shooting a jump shot or just getting better at whatever it is that they are interested in..If they are interested in something, you as a parent should be interested in that same thing. Share stories from your youth days and see how much they light up and say "wow daddy, you did that?"...Its delightful to see their faces light up with that joy that acually comes from you. They are little you.little people so steer them the right direction so that when you let go of the bicycle seat, they can balance themselves and be confident that they wont fall. And if they do fall, they know how to get back up and get right back on the bike to keep it going.. Treasure it. Nothing last forever...Thats the message I got from the big man this past fathers day..im on my Job, Are you???
