Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of negative images floating around supporting the idea that there are a lot of really bad fathers out in the world. While there certainly are men who may not prioritize the needs of their children, there are many who do work hard to take care of their responsibilities.

I personally love to celebrate those who do what they are supposed to do. I love to see positive images of fatherhood because I definitely have one of the best fathers in all of the land.

So today I choose to honor all fathers who handle their business because y’all deserve more than just Father’s Day.
