Incredibly loving supportive fathers, a Special kind of breed!!!.
This is a tribute to the Fathers all over the world who love, cherish, protect and provide for their children and who lovingly teach their children lifes most needed lessons along the way.
For too many years too long, the term deadbeat dad claimed the spotlight in all the hoopla over welfare reform and whatnot.
Interestingly enough some of the most phenomenal fathers I met, I met after getting involved in the
struggle for justice in our courts.
So many cross my mind that I met and spoke with over the years.
I've spoken at length to LOTS of fathers. I've witnessed their pain, watched them hold back tears, or openly weep as they spoke of their children( some lost to the system),
and their struggles with present day corruption. I've seen fathers cry during advocacy meetings, rallies ,and protests, while at the same time trying to comfort and encourage others in their pain.
I've all too often been moved by the haunted grief in their eyes as they doggedly continue on in grim determination for their children, no matter HOW many courts, judges, social workers and so called "Professional" they had to deal with as they attempted to maintain jobs and what remnants were left of their lives together.
Indeed, at times the raw pain, coupled with the raw love for their children took my breath away.
It's my opinion that good, loving fathers are the unsung heroes in today's society. I've witnessed fathers who changed diapers without batting an eye, put in a full work shift, then come home to watch the kids while mom goes off to work or goes to sleep after coming home from work.
I've seen fathers who took the time to read bedtime stories while they were struggling not to fall asleep themselves. I've watched some fathers go to work, come home, clean house, get breakfast, get the kids off to school and then come home and go to sleep.
I've seen fathers who patiently sat through school plays, or waited 18 hours in the emergency room, knowing they had to leave for work on almost no sleep.
A truly loving supportive father is one of life's most Precious gifts to any child anywhere at any time. The lessons and patience of a loving and wise father will stay with a child for life.
Loving fathers do what they do for the love of their children. They couldn't care less about the credit or the glory.
To the loving gracious fathers out there, I salute you and all you do every day. Not just Father's Day.
To those Loving Fathers out there who are experiencing the raw aching grief of not being able to see your children or have them in your life, due to the corruption across the land in juvenile and family courts, my heart is with you AND my heart goes out to you and sooo DO my prayers. I lift you and your little ones high and hold you in the Light asking for guidance in your struggle and strength for the journey. I cry for your children and for you. All that I do to find the desperately needed answers at these dark hours, I do just as much for you as for all the mothers, grandmothers and grandfathers out there.
May I suggest that you document your struggles in a loving book to be presented to your children on that day when you either find justice, or they are of age that the courts no longer hold sway over their lives.
The lady I do research for is doing this for her grandchildren who were ripped ,traumatized and screaming from her home at ten forty five at night six years ago. She is documenting the whole family's struggle.
Even though CPS illegally removed her grandchildren, illegally kept them and manipulated all the paperwork and court procedures, and illegally adopted them out to extended family with a pretty shady history of their own and her grandchildren are now living out of state, she carefully and lovingly keeps track of the parts of their story that tells of their unending struggle. She said "Some day, my grandchildren will know how hard we fought for them and that WE NEVER GAVE UP!"
Truly, it'a one of THE SINGULARILY most DAUNTING and PAINFUL struggles I have EVER witnessed. However it's entirely worth the struggle. EVERY bit of it. We do it for our children.
Here's to all you fathers out there! Your children, your awesome and amazing love for your children, and your continued FIGHT for their safety and well being against incredible odds.
