HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, TO ALL THE FATHERS OUT THERE, BUT, MOST IMPORTANTLY TO.... FATHER TIME.  AS A FATHER, IT IS HARD, TO NOT FUCK UP THE LIVES OF YOUR CHILDREN.  EVEN MORE SO, AS A STEP-FATHER, IT'S HARD TO NOT FUCK UP THE LIVES OF THE CHILDREN YOU HAVE NOW EMBRACED AS YOUR OWN.  AS A FATHER, OF A FATHER, IT CAN BE DIFFICULT TO IMPART KNOWLEDGE, WITHOUT OVERSTEPPING BOUNDS OR REALIZING THE REPETITIVE MISTAKES THAT HAVE SOMEHOW MADE THEIR WAY INTO THE LIVES OF YOUR CHILDREN'S PARENTING.  AS A SINGLE MOTHER, TAKING ON THE ROLE OF THE FATHER, IT IS INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT THROUGHOUT THE SPAN OF YOUR CHILD'S LIFE, NOT TO FUCK THEM UP EITHER.  A MOTHER HAS A SPECIFIC ROLE IN THE LIFE OF A CHILD, AND WITHOUT THAT OTHER PARENT, THE MOTHER, IS HAVING TO ASSUME THAT ROLE WITHOUT WEAKENING THEIR CHILD.  AS A SINGLE FATHER, TAKING THE ROLE OF MOTHER CAN BE DIFFICULT AS WELL, BECAUSE YOU CAN MAKE YOUR KIDS TOO CALLOUS AS WELL.  IT'S DIFFICULT BEING A FATHER, BECAUSE IT ENTAILS A LOT AND ALSO REQUIRES A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF GUIDANCE.  GUIDING YOUR CHILD, NOT ONLY INTO SELF CONFIDENCE, BUT STRENGTH AS WELL, IS A FEAT.  IT'S LIKE TEACHING A KID TO RIDE A BIKE, AND IF YOU'VE EVER TAUGHT A KID TO RIDE A BIKE, THEN YOU UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE POINT OF BEING A FATHER.

FATHER TIME, IS CONSISTENT AND CONSTANT, ALWAYS THERE AND ALWAYS REMINDING YOU THAT THERE IS/ISN'T TIME.  IT IS THE ONE FATHER, THAT WE WISH WOULD GO AWAY, BUT, YET STILL DOES NOT.  HE IS HARD ON US.  HE TEACHES US RESPECT.  HE TEACHES US APPRECIATION.  FATHER TIME TEACHES US, TO GROW AND BE CONFIDENT, BUT, HE ALSO TEACHES US TO BE MINDFUL AND CAREFUL.  FOR THOSE OF US, WHO ARE FATHER'S OR HAVE ASSUMED THE FATHER ROLE, THEN YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THE COMPARISON.  FATHER TIME TEACHES YOU DISCIPLINE, BUT, ALSO TEACHES YOU FREEDOM.  SO TO THOSE, WHO HAVE NO FATHER, YOU DO.  TO THOSE, WHO HAVE A FATHER, YOU HAVE A SECOND.  FATHER TIME, IS THERE, EITHER STAYING RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE, OR TEACHING YOU TO GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER.  HAPPY FATHER'S DAY....FATHER TIME, YOU THE REAL MVP.    -  925
