Fathers Day

Fathers Day is definitely a bitter sweet day for me. On one hand I am grateful for my Heavenly Father along with my earthly father, the man my mother married in 2012 who has taken me in as his own. However, the day also hurts because when I scroll down Instagram all I see are the multiple baby pictures of my friends and their fathers and of a childhood that I will never have. 

But although I call it bittersweet I am definitely not bitter. 

God has mapped out my life perfectly and not having an active biological father is apart of what makes me who I am today. It's apart of the reason why I choose to wait for my husband to have kids because I want my children to be able to have someone to call daddy. And that's no shade to any single mothers because trust me I know that sometimes you just have to to what you have to do. But today I celebrate all the men who are there for their kids and all the men who take kids under their wing who aren't even biologically theirs. You change lives you really do. 

I think people often underestimate the power of a good man. Many women today who are single mothers claim that they are both father and mother. Although I am a self proclaimed feminist I believe that it is impossible to be both father and mother. You can be an amazing mother but it takes an amazing man to be a father. Lets just celebrate the men today, okay? Happy Fathers Day!
