After 32 years of experience as a Husband and a Father, the emotions are again heart felt this Sunday, June 21, 2020 on Fathers Day here in the United States.
Reflecting back to last years thoughts here, the feelings and emotions are renewed and could not be said much better.
One year later however, our world has been enduring a global pandemic. We have all witnessed the tragic loss of so many from this Covid-19 virus and on "Fathers Day 2020", the only words truly relevant are; be smart and be safe!
This year, we all have even more perspective on what it means to be a cohesive family.
As a Father, there is nothing more rewarding and wonderful than to see your own child become a parent. To see them finally understand the joy as a new parent, whether Mother or Father.
Yet, when you look back at your own life and remember your own Father or Mother as a parent, what comes to mind, while (s)he was in your life?
Look up. Close your eyes. Envision them at your most memorable Birthday Party or graduation, celebrating with you. Think about them holding you, when you were hurt or just plain hungry. Do you have this memory?
Until you finally become a devoted parent, you can only imagine the true weight of your new role in life. You will ask yourself each day, how could you be even better?
There really is no school per se on being a parent, even though there are plenty of YouTubes or educational videos to teach you how to swaddle your baby or set up a 529 College Fund.
Yet there is one goal that you can always aspire to achieve as a Father or Mother. To be faithful to your new role in life!
Finally, to be even better. To be there. To say "I Love You" to your child whenever possible...
I Love You Taylor and Connor!
