This is my first Father's day as a custodial parent. Deep in my post history is when i was reaching out for prayers as the state called me unexpectedly and gave me emergency custody. In the past couple months, that emergency custody turned into permanent custody. The past 7 months have been the most draining, busy, sleep deprived days of my life. But i wouldnt trade it for the world. Fathers everywhere, please take tine to teach, to grow, to enlighten the next generation.

I have made it a personal goal to teach my Son exactly what American Exceptionalism is. I do my best to practice it every day. My young son knows what a gun is, knows what it does, knows to never touch it unless he asks me, knows how to fish, knows the pledge of allegiance, i often listen to recitals of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, other historically significant speeches, and more. My goal for the next thirteen years is to not only raise a child to be a self sufficient adult, but to raise someone that will be a Patriot.

God Speed fellow Father frens!
