It's that magical time of year when everyone honors their father. The person without whom life would be impossible. I'm 22 years old and never once have I been able to share in this almost sickening holiday. I always sit and wonder where I'd be if my biological father had stuck around. Would I be a different person than the man you see before you? Would I still hold true to the teachings of the 3 generations of proud and beautiful Hispanic women who took on the task of raising a bastard child?
Maybe I would be different, maybe not. But all I know is that I get a lil depressed when this holiday rolls around cause I have no one to share it with. But on the other hand I do. The Lord has always been my Father and has taught me the lessons a son should be taught be a father. So everytime I feel like going out and finding that fucker and beating him within an inch of his life for fucking up my life, I just remind myself that my real Father is only a prayer away. I was once told that I have been given the chance to give the life I never had to the future of this nation through my children. I hope that I can be a good father when the time comes. I wouldn't wish my torment on anyone.
So to you my Father in Heaven, Happy Fathers Day. Don't forget me.
