I really don’t think that single dads are appreciated or recognized enough. As a product of a single parent family, my dad did a wonderful job at making sure most of our needs were met. True he’s not perfect bit he tried his best! The reason why I’m posting this is because one the kids I care for are also products of single parent families. And the single parent is a dad. I see him struggling the same way my father struggled to get support to raise/provide for his family. He works seven days a week, and he STILL struggles to make ends meet, and to make matters worse he was robbed over the weekend! But still he rose.
Everyday single Dads struggle to properly provide for their children. Walking away seems to be the easy way out but these heroes continue to press on and do what’s right, and for that I give you a huge shout out! Keep on keeping on! Your work is not in vain, and one day you will be greatly rewarded.
And to the dad’s who are not single dads, but are there as part of a family unit I give you a shout out too. I know it’s hard and I know that having a family takes time away from other things you enjoy like night out with the guys, but you’re’ doing the right thing. Our children need you in their lives, they need to know what a positive male role model looks like, they need to know how to love and be loved.
To all of the real fathers, the men, who have decided that being a dad is an honor, I appreciate you, and I thank you.
