“I will do everything for everybody.”
That’s what my dad would say whenever we barraged him with requests. Whether we were asking for new books, new shoes, new clothes or the latest Nintendo games, same answer…”I will do everything for everybody”

We didn’t get everything we asked for, but we never felt lacking. His presence was enough. His effort was loud. He was our Avatar and he was carrying the weight of every element, every need, without complaint.

Now that I’m a father, I understand what he was really doing. He was giving us the head start he never had, laying down bricks so we could walk taller, run faster, live freer.

Thank you, Papa. Thank you. 🙏🏾

To all the men carving paths so their children can fly. ❤️💙💜🖤 Happy Father’s Day to you.
