We at Sistahology would like to let all fathers out there know that we see you, and we appreciate you!\u00a0 We realize it takes men to raise children and women cannot ever fulfill the complete role of a father to his child.\u00a0 I like many other women have had to do more as single woman raising my children but it has always been a joy for me to be there for my sons regardless of who was absent or why!\u00a0 My children will always be my joy and not my excuse or a sad story.\u00a0 I have always realized I could not and that God did not create me to be a father but a damn good mother and that meant giving and being whatever I had to for my sons.\u00a0 That\u2019s what real parents do!\u00a0 There are NO rewards and accolades for doing what you are suppose to do\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.<\/p>\n
Despite the way\u00a0society likes to generalize and portray many fathers of color in a negative light we know there are still very<\/span> many great black men out there holding it down and taking care of their families and working hard to remain an active and important factor in your child\u2019s life. So in recognition of all of the active family men, cheers! Happy Father\u2019s Day.\u00a0<\/p>\n To my own father – R.I.P. Mr. Kelly Easter, Jr. 8\/1\/2008, gone but never forgotten, we love and miss you everyday Dad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We at Sistahology would like to let all fathers out there know that we see you, and we appreciate you!\u00a0 We realize it takes men to raise children and women cannot ever fulfill the complete role of a father to his child.\u00a0 I like many other women have had to do more as single woman […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-595","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sistahology.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/595","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sistahology.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sistahology.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sistahology.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sistahology.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=595"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sistahology.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/595\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":596,"href":"https:\/\/sistahology.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/595\/revisions\/596"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sistahology.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=595"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sistahology.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=595"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sistahology.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=595"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
