You don’t need strength to let go of something. What you really need is understanding.

The “heat and stress” is causing me to have acne.  I can’t do anything to fight those two, so I resorted to have an online search for ways to treat or prevent acne. I landed at Proactiv website and found out that it is endorsed by famous or well known entertainers; such as Mandy Moore [...]

 

A Father That Cares

Posted By Junelle on November 26th, 2007 | 940 views

My Mother was touched on the way my friends husband care for his daughter, because she hasn’t seen the same affection from the father of my children.

We went to my friends house days ago to  fit the dress we are going to wear for their church wedding. (They have been married on a civil one.)When we arrive there, the husband of my friend was not home yet, because he is on a night duty. When he finally arrived, he brought a fries and a burger for his daughter. My Mother really admires him in doing that.  My friend then added, she only gives him Php 50 (that is about US $1) everyday so that he would not spend a lot on anything. From that tight budget, he manages to save money to buy something for his daughter, that day we visited them. THAT TOO made me admire the HUMAN BEING he is and what a great father he has been.

The first time I saw this guy, I thought he is just a player. I know a bit of history about him and that he really has been a playboy. BUT he CHANGED.

My father used to be a playboy as well. But now, whatever storms my family encounter, I know for the fact that my fathers love for our family would be there to stay.

Caring and Love is best expressed in action … in fact I think it could not be express in just WORDS. I could say “I Love You” or “I Care For You” easily and without such feelings. In short, it could be faked. So words are not that reliable.

I have known a story in where the father is far from his kids and separated with the mother of his children. But as the law says it, the kids will stay at the mothers care, until they are old enough to decide on their own on where or to whom they would want to stay. The father would always prepare for this one day every week in where he could see his children. He rides a jeep and a boat, then a jeep again to get to his children. He does this every week. Tiring, but I guess it seems to be worth it. Not to mention he would again ride a jeep and a boat and a jeep again to be able to go home on that same day.

Now, would it be caring enough if one couldn’t even find time for his children? Even if it would just take 45 minutes of traveling by a jeep and much less if on a private car or a taxi. EVEN FOR JUST ONCE A MONTH at least 5 minutes of being with his children … DOES THIS PERSON DESERVE TO BE KNOWN BY HIS CHILDREN? DOES HE DESERVE TO BE RESPECTED? I DON’T EVEN KNOW IF HIS CHILDREN WOULD RECOGNIZE HIM. HE WILL GET WHAT HE DESERVES.

  • I agree with you cousin :) But it is his lost not seeing those two jewels shine each day.

  • I don't want to get bias or anything just because Junelle is my cousin...

    *I believe, if a father really cares for his children he must find ways. A little time spend of your kids means so much to them. Though I know both of have have you separate lives, but still you need to put your "prides" apart and do the best to your kids... If I'm the father of Hannah and Hector, no matter what misunderstandings that i have with the mother, I will put them aside. A visit twice a week will do and have bonding with the kids. Of course because I won't let that day comes when my children think that I never care to them...

    I see how the two kids grow beautifully each day...

  • Was I over? I don't think so ... with that said have you ever asked what was wrong why it didn't happen on the third week? Ohh ... I guess you knew coz I think my Mom had mentioned to you the reason why.
    RESPECT? WHY HAVE YOU EVER RESPECTED ME? YOU EXPECT ME TO RESPECT YOU? wow .... KAPAL!
    CARE? DO YOU? YOU CAN'T EVEN FIND TIME FOR THEM AND YOU SAY YOU CARE? DUH ...

    Did u once showed me the respect as a father to my babies?
    HAVE I NOT? It's up for you to things I have done for you ... a consideration ... one for the fact I never kept them away from you.

    Nice post, but don't try to over do it. Remember what arrangements bet me and you about the babies. That during weekdays one of the babies should stay with me and weekends with you. I must praise you in doing that for 2 weeks.. and after that what happened? Did u once showed me the respect as a father to my babies?! I don't want to justify something but your post is a bit too much as if your saying I don't have a care to my babies. Before you say anything else try to look the other way around.
