Father's Day

What makes a great dad.In my life it has taken more then a dad to raise me it took my uncles ,my aunt ,my grandparents and my mom you could can say all these people played the dad role in my life.They took care of me and my sister with out once making us feel like an outsider.We have a huge beautiful Latin family .I will not speak badly of my father for him being absent in our life's.But instead I will forgive all that has happened and enjoy what time I do have with him.

My dad is a strong man a very proud man .I believe in his time of growing up life was very hard on him .Dads, well at least my grandfather didn't show to much affection towards him.But when I look at my grandfather and how loving he is with my children and with me it is hard to believe .I think maybe he knows he wasn't to touchy feely with his own children But when he talks of his own father which would be my great great grandfather it is no wonder my grandfather is the way he is.All my uncles on dad's side as well as my mothers are very good men.And my dad now is a wonderful grandpa to my children as well to my brothers kids .He loves them all so much I can see it when he smiles at them the way he holds and hugs them ,even when they are speaking to him he gives them all the attention they deserve.

I feel that the next generation of men in my family will have learned the don't and do's from the men they have in their family now.Dads are so important .The boys Joseph and Jesse their father died in 2005 and not until he passed away did I realize how much my sons longed for him.It was a very pain full and hard time for them.As many of my close family and friends know .But I have tried my best to answer all questions they may have about him .But I was so young when I had my boys Joseph will be 17 years old in August and Jesse will be 16 in November,it seems I have forgotten alot of things and that upsets me because they want to know about him.But luckily I have their dads family which they keep the memories alive and not forgotten for my sons.

I never really had seen a dad .I mean a man that takes care and love's his family until I met Ralph's dad .I was this is how it is suppose to be loving ,peaceful and caring.So intern Ralph is a good daddy to all of our children.I know this pass year with all the events that have happened with Joseph .It has tested him .But in the end he tries to have a close relationship with him they talk more they laugh more together .Time will heal I firmly believe that , I have to .I look at my daughters with Ralph and I am like damn that's what me and my sister should of had with or own father.But I am a lucky women to have such a good man one that cares for his children and treats them all with respect and most important the love that they all deserve .They might not all be his flesh in blood but he does love them each and everyone of them.

I am so blessed..
