U Right Dad




i should have had a dad... :-(

cuz if so…

we'd be talking about women sometimes
and he'd say something like
"Son, betta leave dem jokers alone, dey trouble'
he’d laugh and explain
I'd bounce my head
while smacking my teeth
grit, and then say
"yeah u right dad"
then i'd pick up the remote control
being a better man
and we'd both watch the game

  2. it just hurts to hear of you missing something you never had; trying to imagine a relationship that never was.

    but it gave me a lot of insight into the silent cries of my own husband who never met his father. thanks for being so transparent.

  4. I love this. Such a small gesture of advice from a father can have such a huge impact. Something to think about as we approach Father's Day. Thank you for sharing.
