This day always brings to mind the reality of being too blessed with many fathers. hypothetically, I am to get married and the guy wants to ask for permission from the father... (he will have to- tradition)- poor chap only realises too late that he needs the permission of 6 fathers.... not 1! he would most likely start in WV where he will meet #dad1 Chuck then #Dad2 Lloyd Hill...I never knew men could cook so well until i met these two. They instilled me a level of independence I still wear like a badge of honor. Then it would be off to Ohio for #dad3- Fred Paschall. he tells me that I suffer no fools- so more than likely is the chap has gotten a yes from Me- then he is good to pass this test. I should also mention that fred makes the meanest NYstyle Cheesecake. Next will be to PA to #dad4 Scott. He is the one who took me to college- after having visited several colleges to find @malone_u as the favorite choice. Once he noted all of my favorite snacks- he made sure that all four years of college- I never lacked nutrigrain banana bars regularly. Here thought I have my younger brother who to be honest is no longer young anymore- Jon I suspect still thinks no one is good enough for me- so that will be a tough interview. Next stop, will be to #dad5- Dick... in NYC. Here is where I grew into Adulthood. Dick probably knows Eche bad college paper I wrote—-and the good ones. So Dick will be good to remind the chap that if he falls out of line, my brother Matthew can shoot from miles away...him being a marine and all. Then the final journey will take him to #bujumbura to meet 'the' dad.... aka. Bishop Nzishura Simeon. Sure he wants me to marry but better be the right one... not to mention the dowry 😥. These 6 are among the most important people in my life. All have been fathers to me throughout my 30+ years, each of them imparting wisdom, and showing me what it truly means to be a good father, husband and over all human being. They have, each in their own words and deed, taught me never to settle for less than the best. All the time knowing, I am loved and protected fiercely. #happyfathersday to all of my wonderful fathers
