Precious Predicaments Precious Predicaments

Father's Day was yesterday. Many individuals honored their father in a variety of ways. The role a father play is a blue print to an individual's life. There is also a difference between being a man, father and a sperm donor. There are some men that became a father at a very young age. There are also those that are still producing children which could be the age of their grand children. I understand that all were not trying to produce a child and may have complicated relationships with the mother of their child. And for those that played a role as a stepfather, bonus father or was there as a father figure for another I commend you. 

Being that a child's first  mentor is their parent. And not all parents are perfect however, the relationship is very important. Join myself and others as we discuss Father Son Relationships. With a good role model one may feel loved, supported and protected. Good leadership is valuable. This is not to minize a daughter father relationship. However we need more men to have stronger relationships with their son's as such may create more healthier generations. Let's talk about it. The show is not produced to male bash as when we know better we can do better.

Tina Turna once sung, "What's Love Got To Do With It?" Love appears to the strongest misunderstood word that is said by individuals. It has power, purpose and can lead to pain and heartache.
