It’s been a bit over 2 years since I took on the responsibility of being a parent. In that short span of time I’ve seen how fast children grow and how parents, I in particular grow with them. I’d like to think that I’ve matured significantly since I started, though I still feel I have a lot more things to learn and understand.
Maybe the hardest thing for me right now as a father to my daughter is being able to handle my personal issues and demons while still being a positive and productive role model for her. All people have baggage, no matter what kind of facade some people may put up. The only thing that’s different is how we handle them. I for one have a ton of baggage on my shoulders. I just hope I am doing everything I can to handle it to the best of my abilities; and not keeping it all stashed up somewhere just waiting to come crashing down on me in the future.
I didn’t get any presents this time around and only several people greeted me… my kid isn’t even aware of the occasion. But if I were to ask for a present on this particular occasion, it would be to see (both literally and figuratively) my daughter grow up to be what she wants to be in life… and maybe get the chance to support her in her endeavors.
Happy Father’s day!
