The Mailing List: June 2009 (#2)

2. Father's Day

Photobucket

Yes, yes, y'all. Here's the 2nd to last piece of this month's Mailing List, which should be number one in your hearts, unless there's something OD dope coming up for number one (hinthint, winkwink, nudgenudge). This upcoming Sunday, June 21st, is Father's Day. People tend to forget about their fathers; not so much as not appreciating him, but forgetting all the things that a father does in a life. I know personally that my father has been instrumental in my growth over the past 3-4 years, after a lifetime of him being the silent provider, which I'm thankful for. Many of my other friends have great relationships with their dads, but still a lot don't. A lot have pure disdain for their fathers, while some don't even know them. Whatever your situation might be, take some time out Sunday and make sure to show some love to whatever male role model you might have in your life. Uncles, grandfathers, family friends, whoever!!! If you have a guy that holds you down, Sunday is the day to do him right. And for all of the fathers out there, hold your kids down. Along with a lot of fatherless children, there are a lot of fathers not holding up their end of the bargain as fathers. A child are a responsibility and a blessing, make sure you treat them as such. Remember, fellas, it's easy to become a father, but hard to be one. Happy Father's Day...
