Inspiration to Fathers

Pinks
Men are the epitome of strength and maturity. But some of the young mothers of our generation threaten those qualities. I’ve had the unfortunate opportunity to know, personally, some of these women who will drag a man through cracks just to prove a point. And let’s just suffice it to say that I don’t associate myself with those women anymore. I’m not saying that all men possess these qualities. But I’m sure you can think of some who do. All it takes is one look to know that he feels defeated and at a loss of what to do. That look, that is the equivalent of a movie.
