IN HER OWN WORDS
What was my inspiration for the book?
Webster's Dictionary defines the word Father as a male parent, one who cares for another as a father (i.e. surrogate) A person who invents or begins something.
Having my own children and seeing my husband love nurture and guide their every step, loving them from conception has been a source of inspiration for me for this book. I wanted to tell my story to the many children out there who like me long to be loved by a father, but might never have their father be there.
I constantly have heard young men say how they were raised by a strong mother or grandmother.. You always hear athletes saying HI MOM... Or giving shout outs to them.... MY question has always been why not HI DAD??? WHY not give shout outs to DAD. A sad answer might be because half of the time dad has not been around or is not in the picture. We will call everybody else our hero. Why not our fathers? The very individual who's blood pulsates through our veins. The dictionary says a father is a person who invents or begins something. We begin with the LOVE of our Fathers
More and More in society we are seeing fatherless children; many causes include irresponsibility, neglect, abuse, or just plain abandonment. I was inspired to write my book because I want these children to know they are not alone. I want our Fathers to step up to the plate take responsibility for your children. Take time to step back and feel our pain and take accountability for your actions. For those who have been there, I want you to know the love we feel for you and the respect cannot be measured in words. You are indeed our heroes.
HOW WILL THIS BOOK IMPACT THE COMMUNITY?
*According to recent statistics 70% of African American children are born out of wedlock*
In an era where we have just witnessed the election of the first African American President, I am hoping this will have an impact on all father's of every race creed and nationality who have not been in there children's lives, have not been that father they are capable of being, have not shown that child what it means to Have a Father's Love and witnessing this monumental event. Father's will adhere to The Presidents words and example, and take strong note and conviction from reading my book by following the do's, and don'ts through the pages and become inspired about being a father and standing up for their children. It is indeed time for A CHANGE. I want my book to impact fathers to stand up and take their place in their children's lives as their FATHER, LEADER, HERO.***IT'S TIME TO PUT THE *FATHER* BACK IN THE FAMILY.
