Father's Day

I am told and I checked that this Sunday coming is called Father's Day.

I would like to propose that we call it Childrens' Day instead. What is a father without children. A man? a person? what.?

But what is a man with children? A giant, a hero, a mentor, a guide, a companion, a comforter, a provider, a teacher, an example, and yea, a fulfilled person who glories in and finds comfort in and shares with and enjoys his children.

So this should be children's day. The day which celebrates to contributation that children make to turning a man into a father. A man without children is a person, true. But a man with children is a person and more. He is a fulfilled person, a happy person, at times, a driven person, ah, how can I explain how much my children mean to me???

Fatherhood is not a fact of life...it is learned from children. It becomes when the children develop the man into fatherhood.

So let ME celebrate my children who have made me into the person that I have become. They have given me inspiration, , motivation, pride, and yes, HAPPINESS.

Children make a man a father. Let us celebrate our children on this day. So what if Halmark doesn't have a card for the occasion. Do it anyway. Make this day children's day. Celebrate the innocence, love, smiles, warmth of children.
