¿HAPPY FATHER'S DAY?

The idea of fatherhood is both personal and universal. We all have ideal concepts surrounding fatherhood, and we also have our real fathers—fathers who were there or not there for us, fathers who provided financial support for our families or failed to do so, fathers who loved or neglected us, fathers who were our role models or gave us someone to rebel against. In a time when mothers, the sacred feminine and female energy are being honored, it is important not to forget the importance of fathers. When this day comes around I always reflect on the father that never got to know me and I always feel sad for him because he won’t hear me say HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to him; and though I’ve reconciled who he is mentally AND fertilely I can’t help but wonder how he must feel on a day like this…How many of you would be celebrating this day with your father?

  2. It's interesting that:

    my dad was there, but it was almost like he wasn't
    I guess he provided financial support [he won't let you forget it]
    I felt neglected
    My dad was upset that I didn't have him as a role model [I wasn't]

    I will be calling my dad today - not looking forward to it

  4. Feelin' your pain, because I know it is the pain of far too many sons, sadly.

    This day tends to brings out the melancholy poet in me, and it has since my father passed. But because he was there, and showed me love, I celebrate him in my heart, my mind and my spirit... not just today, but always.


    SJ!

    One.

  5. I never knew my biological father. My stepdad and I weren't close growing up. Now that we're older we're both making an effort to be close. He shows interest in my son and me. He's trying.

  6. That photo is cute.... but anyway... I know my dad, but he never really been around... so I still tell him happy fathers day, but sometimes I feel he don't deserve it! If anything I call my mom and tell her happy fathers day as well, because she's been the only parent there all my life.

  8. Happy Father's Day! I can only imagine what your childhood must have been like in the absebce of a father; but I do know that your dad missed out on getting to know a very decent, intelligent and loving person (you). I hope he feels like shyte on Father's Day.

  9. I don't observe father's day because I feel my "father" doesn't deserve it. He was there for me up until the time I was 13, but after that he was gone and to this day he does not understand the void that his absence left in me. A couple of weeks ago I very politely tried to explain to him why I do not call him much and why we don't have much of a bond....he called me an ugly mother****** and a cocksucker. Hey, I've had my share of cock, so as true as that may be, what kind of thing is that for a father to call his own son? And ugly?? I'm no Denzel, but I still turn heads (for the right reason). I have forgiven him, but I will NEVER forget the things he so easily called me. I don't see a reason for me communicating with him again and it's no big loss because hey, you can't miss what you never had. For all the fathers out there who take their responsibility seriously, my hat is off to you.

  11. hey sweets I must say that my dad...was never there for me when I was growing up..but I will literally kill a mutha if they say his name wrong. We are the best of friends now, and Ive almost lost him numerous times. I have to now cherish all that I have left with him.

  12. btw...this pic should be realistic so that dads would understand us better.

  13. I meant to call him, but I forgot. And then Michael died, whose music we always both loved.

    I love my dad, but we're so different. Occasionaly (more recently than a few years ago), we've been able to tlk, but it's more like two work colleagues rather than a father and son.

    My family history is too f@*ked up for me to go into, here...
