Hey bloggers. As most of you may know, today is Father's Day. You know what that means? It means that most of you get to love your father's even more for this one day, because it is a day dedicated to them.
But, then there's those of you whose 'father' isn't around. He couldn't handle the responsibility of being a dad, so he left. And that isn't your fault, I promise you. He left because he wasn't man enough to deal with his actions.
My mom got pregnant with me at sixteen. My dad was eighteen. I was a Daddy's girl for I can't even remember how long. The following January, my parent's got married. They had two more children, a girl and a boy. They later divorced, and my dad became an alcoholic.
I couldn't stand the fact that my dad's new best friend was a can of beer. I couldn't even stand him, as in I wouldn't visit him. I was in 5th grade, maybe 4th. My sister hated my guts because I would never visit him. But, she didn't understand.
My mom found a new guy later, and they've been dating for 8 years, going on 9. The guy is okay, he's had 3 kids with my mom. Two 5 year-old girls and an almost 6 month old baby girl. Yes, he's a daddy figure to them, but to me? A sixteen year-old? He has no clue, he tries to be more of a friend. Then he gets mad at me when I don't do what he wants.
It's okay if your father isn't around. He's nothing you need to worry about, because when you become successful in your life, and he decides he wants to come around because he's 'ready to be a father', don't listen to it. Because, even though he may be your father, he's not your dad.
Some people don't understand the difference between a father and a dad, so I'll mention it real quick for those of you who don't. A father is just the guy who helped give you life, but a dad is a guy who stuck around. Don't get confused by the two.
Then there's those of you who lost your dad. Maybe he died from cancer, fighting for our freedom, or he was killed. Whatever it was, he was in your life. He stuck around, and it wasn't right that he was just taken away. Honestly, I applaud you kids the most, because you deserve it the most.
So, whether it be you have a dead beat dad, a dad who stuck around, or a dad who is with us here in spirit, you're some amazing kids. Hug your mom more on this day, if that's all you have. Enjoy the little things and realize, that your life is fine, with or without a father.
I'm always here if you need to talk.♥
