Like we always do at this time… I’d like to wish a very Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers, stepfathers, godfathers and especially those men that have taken it upon themselves to step up and be a positive role model in the life of a young person. The job you do in the lives of our youth is a thankless one, but know that your contribution is appreciated! For those men that have fathered children yet play no role in their lives, look at today as a sort of call to arms. No child deserves to be without the love and support of both of their parents. And no matter how hard another might try, no one can replace you in the eyes of your kid. So despite whatever relationship you might have with the mother, go be there for your seed. Help mold them into the kind of man or woman that this world can look up to.

Let me also take this moment to wish my father a very Happy Father’s Day. It’s been almost 8 years (wow, time really flies) since you were called home, but I still feel your presence as if I just saw you yesterday. I miss you more than any amount of words, written or otherwise, could ever express. I love you with the full capacity of my heart and to deepest depths of my soul. I wish you were here for me to say these words to you in person, but I know you can hear me. I love you daddy and I miss you so much.

Now that I’ve gotten all of the pleasantness out of the way, let me say something that some of y’all are not gonna like. You might want to cuss me out, but frankly I don’t give a damn. I don’t like having to say the SAME THING EVERY YEAR. Today is FATHER’S DAY! It is not Single Mother’s Day, Baby Mama’s Day or Bitter B**** with Kid’s Day. If you are one of these three things (a single mother, a baby mama or a bitter b**** with kids), kindly keep your dick holster closed until tomorrow. Stay your ass off of all social media sites for the day. We don’t need your negativity stinking up the place. No matter what you do in your child’s life, you’re not a father. Don’t nobody wanna hear that “I play both roles” bullshit! It’s a shame that you have to do more in the life/lives of your kid(s) than you should. But, you don’t play both roles! You only play the role of a mother! That’s it! Let if f***ing go. No one wants to hear you complain about the lazy, good for nothing guy you CHOSE to have kids by. True, you deserve to be commended for ensuring that your kids are taken care of. But that’s what MOTHER’S DAY is for. Tomorrow is for the celebration of men that do their part (in some cases more than) to provide and raise their (and in some cases, other peoples) kids. Today is not for you to beat the Bitter B**** Drum about your trifling ass baby daddy. Because, at the end of the day, you CHOSE to lay down with him. So if he ain’t shit, what does that really say about your ability to make decisions? If your kids don’t have a father for you to celebrate, celebrate your own damn daddy or a man that you know is doing what he’s supposed to do. If you can’t do that, once again, keep your f***ing dick holster shut!

I’m sorry I had to be so ugly, but it had to be said. And apparently, it has to be said every year.
