Think back to all the jobs you’ve ever held in you life. Okay now which one was or is the most difficult? I don’t know about you but without question or qualification it is being a good Dad.
Any man can be a father, but it takes a real man to be a good Dad. Those are the truest words I have heard uttered on the subject. Failure at this job is just not a option in my mind. It is far too important to the children. The responsibility is at times I confess downright scary.
Unfortunately being human all fathers have failures sometimes. The thing to do is to recommit oneself and strive to be better. The rewards far outweigh the negative moments.
It is only now after all these years I realize the tough job fatherhood really is. However, the rewards are incalculable. Enjoy being a father, enjoy your children they are truly a gift.
well said, Steve. Over these few years, from your little notes and anicdotes, I can tell you care very much. your kids are lucky.
