Poetic Wizdom: “Dad That I Had” Keystyle
“He didn’t tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.” ~Clarence Budington Kelland
Father’s Day was once again amazing for me and I enjoyed my family, yet I still have not figured the best balance between appreciating this day to honor Me as a father and dealing with the void of not having my father here with me. Usually around this time, even when I am on a “writing hiatus” I end up writing something to release some of my thoughts. I sat down at decided to type this to express how I was thinking about my father. I am saddened and I am hurt without you here, but I am very appreciative of the time afforded to me and would never take it for granted. I am sure I will get where I want to be and find that balance, but this year was not it. RIP to my father!!! #ASNF

It is much easier to become a father than to be one. ~Kent Nerburn
Please appreciate the time you have had with your father or your father figure. Please take the time to let them know how you feel and how thankful you are for them. Do not wait until tomorrow, because tomorrow may not be here. It takes a special person to be a father and leaves even a bigger void when they are gone.
