A friend of mine called

She's a single mother.

Her wallet was stolen

and she needs cash.

I'm happy to help.

But I advised,

that it will

kill her boyfriend

if he finds out.

Nothing hurts

a man more

than

feeling inadequate.

What about her ex-hubby?

Why is she

desparately broke,

Whilst

the ex-husband

is dicking around

bikini babes

on wakeboards.

Anyone can be a father.

but it takes a real man,

to be

a Daddy.

People do

fall out of love.

I know how it feels.

But even if I stop

loving a woman

as my wife,

I will never

stop loving her

as mother

of my children.

Children maybe

a product

of screwing.

But they

ain't

lightbulbs

that you can

unscrew.

The marriage

may be over.

But though you stopped

being a husband,

you cannot stop

being a father.

And being a fantasy Dad

isn't a solution.

A fantasy Dad

is one

who sees the kids

once a week

and spoils them rotten

lavish them

with gifts.

A Daddy is one

who imparts

a sense of value system

in the child.

He is a good disciplinarian,

but allows the kids

to make mistakes,

learn from them,

most importantly,

apply lessons learnt.

He teaches the kids

survival skills in Life,

make them appreciate things they have,

and never take things

for granted.

He leads

as a male role model,

by example.

He extracts

the best

out of them.

Maximises

their potential.

He protects them

even by putting his own safety

on the line

to keep them safe.

He sacrifices

his personal happiness

for them.

The Greatest Quality

of

A Father's love

is

UNCONDITIONAL
