The focus is empowering our children’s lives while uniting us as fathers.
I hope my daily blogs will help all dads, families and mentors reach and build our children which will inevitably build a stronger society.
So here goes..........
Time flies, it has been 3 yrs since I became a Dad. He was God's Gift to my wife ( Kim) and me. It seemed like yesterday that it was May 4, 2005 at 5:24pm when I was able to hold him in my hand at the hospital. My wife had a C-section so I was the one who held him and cut the umbilical cord. That was the greatest feeling I have ever had in my life.
Justin has grown so fast, what happened to my baby boy.
I was looking at him today, reminiscing on the times when I used to sleep at the edge of the bed ready to jump into action and feed him. Justin woke up every 2 hrs to eat and get a diaper change, so I had to burn the midnight oil.
Now he is running around, talking non-stop and imitating Dad. He wants to go everywhere with me.
It's an awesome feeling however, it has made me more aware of what I say and do because I am his world and whatever he sees my do and say will shape his future.
Therefore, I have lead by example, whether its my relationship with his mom, my friends or other people I come across on the journey of life.
I am not a perfect dad, I have my faults, but it’s my duties as a parent to cherish, lead and love him. I know there will be a lot of pitfalls lurking but I have got to be focused, not selfish. I have to show my son what it takes to be a man, the duties and responsiblities that comes with it.So whatever he grows up to be it will be a reflection on what I taught him.
