Dads Do NOT Get Enough Credit

I have always said parenting has got to be the hardest job you can ever do in this world. Any other job you can figure out one way or another… Parenting you can’t just “figure out.”

I only have two heroes the second being Jesus Christ and the first being my Dad. I don’t think father receive nearly as much credit as they deserve. I am talking about a good father, one that provides guides and cares like my father.

Sometimes I think to myself, where would I be or how would my life be going without my Dad? I know the course of my life has been guided through wisdom and morals my Dad taught to me. I say parenting is hard because a mother is very important to the development of a child as well. They have one of the hardest job but a different one.

My Dad is the kind of person to put everything before him self. To make sure his family is safe and happy before he is. How many people now a days can say that?

I don’t understand why US reporters and editors won’t call a spade a spade.
