Thoughts Uncensored has been off for a bit.. Not long enough to forget Father's Day though. Father's Day is a loving day to remember father's everywhere.

Like I said about Mother's Day, love your mother no matter what. Same goes for father's. Father's are the other part of your life. They are there to patch that hole mother's can't. Imagine a life without father's. Some people might know how that is, respectfully.

Those unfortunate without a father, don't be sad. If you have a father-like figure in your life, he can be your father. I have a few friends that have father like figures in their lives since their biological fathers left for reasons of their own. It's never an excuse to leave your children, no matter the case.

This blog is going out to my father and my best friend Nira.

My father has been with my mother since they got married. My dad is a very special person to me. He was always the one to show strict punishment when I did things I surely wasn't supposed to do. Honestly, he never "beat" me or "lashed" me. He just gave me an old fashion spanking on my bootious maximus. Nevertheless, he was there on my first fishing trip. He was the one to show me how to drive. He told me how to treat women. He was there when he could be. He went out of his way at night to get me drinks of water. No one would EVER replace my dad. I do, though, have to understand that even the person in my life that was my hero my entire life isn't going to stick around forever. I'll deal with it when that time comes. I love my dad for everything he's done for me and my mom. Happy Father's Day dad.

Now for a dedication to my best friend Nira. Nira's father was there for her the first few years of her life then left because him and Nira's mom had their differences. That didn't stop him from seeing her though. Tragically, he was taken from her. Years of drinking and diabetes were the reasons. The sad part is that his youngest daughter was there at the time he passed away. It had saddened me deeply to know she was there when he passed and knowing she had no more dad. I still remember, though, a few days before he was rushed to the hospital. A day that was partly cloudy and warm. He had put his hand on my shoulder and asked me to take care of his daughter. It shocked me later to know that he had passed. But he wasn't left to live only in memories. Nira's beautiful daughter has part characteristics of Nira's dad. Memories from the past live today. Happy Father's dad to her father.

Lastly, a last dedication to all those that have, do not have, or have passed fathers. Fun times and memories are what keeps us close, if not physically, emotionally and mentally. I personally have to say, never HATE your father. No matter what. Hatred to me is seeing him getting shot and you walk away. That's hate to me. Love, respect, and care for your father's. In life and in memory. Lastly, you never know what kind of a father you had, until he's lost to memories only. Happy Father's Day to every father out there.

Disclaimer: Father's are a touchy subject to most of us. If any offense was caused, I'm sorry.The point of this blog is to tell you happy father's day. Love and respect your fathers.
