Daddy Talk

A HOT THREESOME!

Too often we live life without thinking about consequences. There are numerous eruptions of doubts and regrets from our decision making.  

In my life, I have never been so pleased and so fulfilled in this triangle of a love affair that has me habituated.  So addicted, that I wake up pondering on these ladies that are by my side every day.  I’ll kiss one and then call the other one over for a kiss as well. I always end up with a big cheesy smile on my face like a big kid in a candy store.These two angels became my religion and “saved” me.  They are my beautiful daughters.  They have altered my life in a way that nothing in this universe has.  

Even though, there are startling statistics showing the increased absence of a black father in a child’s life, I am counteracting that with the presence of one.  My marriage did not last and a divorce was inevitable.  While going through that transition, I never involved my children in the divorce battle because I wasn’t divorcing them, I was divorcing their mom.  Never once did they disturb my life, but I integrated them in my world. What I was not prepared for was how I would become acclimated into their lives.  

Because of this trio, life enrolled me into “Mr. Mom” school and I graduated with honors.  I take a breath today proud of the moments where I had to learn how to braid, put in a relaxer in, teach them how to cook, talk to them about boys, teach them how to cook, clean, buy the first pair of heels, become a counselor when the first menstrual cycle begins, exercise, eat properly and respect their elders. I get a joy when we have Daddy-daughter dates displaying to them how a man should open a door for a woman, compliment her, and make her feel like a princess; the only thing that matters.  

My plight is my pleasure.  There are two things that I have come to identify about me.  One is that I don’t know how to halfway love.  And two, it is impossible for me NOT to love someone that looks just like me.

Life Lesson:  Only God knows the true story of the novel titled "YOU". So don't let ANYONE tell you what your next chapter should be.......especially without contacting the Author first......
