To tell a man Happy Fathers Day has great meaning to me. It's more than acknowledging that he is a procreator, it's acknowledging that he is a decision maker. He has decided to be a provider, to selflessly give of himself to his children. He has decided to impart wisdom and knowledge that will help to mold his children into our future. He has decided to be involved in his children's lives and support their loves and curiosity's. He has decided to be patient when his patience is clearly at its maximum capacity. It is having a special love that can't be contained and will even overflow to children that don't belong to him. It is a decision to respect his children's mother, for respecting her is respecting a part of who they are. It is a decision to be committed to a relationship that will continue to grow and change and last for a lifetime. Being a father isn't easy if it's done correctly, but it's the most important decision a man will ever make. I know many men who deserve to be told Happy Fathers Day and I am greatful for each and every one of them!
