Father's Day Thoughts
I have been a father for 14 years to a son and 8 years to a daughter and I enjoy every second of it! Yesterday, we joined millions of families pay tribute to fathers of all shapes and sizes. I am fortunate to have had a positive role model. I grew up with a father who taught me what I needed to know to be a father myself.
The sermon we heard yesterday talked about how families today are being torn apart because fathers have shirked their responsibilities. An appeal was made by the minister that, as a community, the males should take seriously their role - as a father, an uncle, a grandfather - and help provide a suitable environment where our children can grow up and lead productive lives.
The highlights of my Father's Day celebration was a phone call from my son Pajo, who is in the Philippines finishing his high school and a dinner cooked by Thea, my daughter (Teng, my wife supervised the cooking).
Being a father is not only a blessing but an education as well. It's just so sad that many decided to drop out.
