“Not Just Another Dad“[Excerpt] To tell you the truth I am not a father, the thought of it alone scares me. Now this is not to say that I don’t ever wish to be one. I am actually excited for the day when I can call someone my own. The reservations that I have stem from a long line of poor father figures. My father was not a good person, his father; from the little I remember of him was not a good father.

“The Call of Duty“[Excerpt] I used to be a single mother and my parents have been together since they were 19 years-old. I know the value of a good father in the home. Both genders of children can benefit from what a father can teach. We have boys and one daughter. Our boys can learn how to be men. Our daughter can know the feeling of being valued and honored by a male and carry that on to her future relationships.

“ManSong – Little Moments“[Excerpt] As a man, the song that really hits me every time I hear it is Brad Paisley’s “Little Moments.” I loved this song from the very first time I heard it. I was just starting to date the woman, who would become my wife and the mother of our little girl, and I didn’t realize it then, but it was describing how I felt when I was with this amazing woman who was stealing my heart. Looking back at our life together so far, this song means more and more to me every time I hear it.

“The Strength of Our Ancestors”
[Excerpt] As a husband, Dad exemplified a loving, loyal and lasting relationship. His love for Mom endured through a five-year courtship, a three-year separation during World War II and more than six decades of marriage. He showed that love in gentle glances and tender touches to the very end.

[Excerpt] So what is manhood? It’s got to be more than being the biggest and strongest. At lease I hope so or at 5’7″ I’m in trouble. Nope, it’s something much more than that and from what I have seen, we don’t all get there and sometimes even when we do, we don’t always stay.
