What Makes a Man a Real DAD?

Well many people think because they had sex and created a child they are a dad. However, that couldn’t be further from the truth. That short span of personal pleasure does not qualify one for the dad title. So, in my humble opinion if your one of those who walk around bragging about your children but do little to nothing for them, then the title “unfortunately" doesn’t apply to you.

A real dad is someone who truly loves you. Now that word love encompasses unconditional love. That means they are always there to help. They hurt when you hurt. That they are human but will admit their mistakes when wrong. That while they will always be protective, they will let you grow while making sure you do not stray to far off course. They do not judge but try to help yet, they will try to provide what is important to you while teaching you responsibility and values. Sometimes we prefer those who give, give, give and we miss the point of why sometimes you must work for something you want not just be handed it. Then again we like people who allow us to do what we want but yet we really do want someone to care what we do. While we may frown when they say no if we truly love them and we have good communications then we can understand why.

A dad is someone we can confide in when we are down and out. Who is always ready with a kiss and a big hug. They will not condemn, yell, curse or hit you when you do something wrong but they will allow you to understand what you did and try to help you through it.

Dads are men who put their entire life into YOU. They do not say what’s mine is mine and you have to get yours, they say we are family, I love you and how can I help you through your problem. Dads are there when you need help and when there is no one else to go to. They are also there to let you know life is not a hand out and it can be tough. So, if your refused a handout for something frivolous then think about why and what else may be important.

So, the title DAD is one of the greatest in the world. My children are the most special and precious gift God can give and whether born to your spouse, adopted or just assumed into the family if they are a Dad who loves you, you have one special, unique and unequaled gift! Enjoy it forever!

So the next time your mad because of circumstances, don’t blame yourself and pick up someone else’s baggage. Just look sincerely at that person you have, and who is there, who provides and who cares. Trust in them, build an honest relationship and learn to talk together. If you don’t have that now then give it a try, you might wind up surprised. Also, if you have two dads in your life and they both love you, that’s even better. Sometimes life is hard and it doesn’t always work out but true love never leaves. Give them both a chance and bury what you perceive and find out what you didn’t realize, you just may be surprised.

Happy Fathers Day…………………….
