I have an issue boiling in my head and I need your comments to help sort it out.
I know that this blog has only been going for less than a month, which means that I need the few who read to man up and respond with a comment (or two).
I’ll tell you the issue after I get some responses. (HINT: Is being a fun daddy primarily what fatherhood is all about? Or is there a higher call upon us dads?)
My first question is this: Define or describe a Father’s love in your own words, or as related through a particularly poignant experience. Do you call upon feelings or actions: or a mix of the two? Is the Dad’s love different than the Mom’s? Consider how or from whom you learned what fatherly love is.
My second question is: What would you do for the love of your child(ren)? I am not asking what you would do to earn their love: I am asking what does your love motivate you to do? This question is asking how far out of your comfort zone are you willing to go. What would you risk? What would you sacrifice (don’t limit your thoughts to money: think status, rules, respect…)? Is there anything that is “off the bargaining table” when it comes to fathering? Bonus Points for examples of what you have done.
And please don’t bother if you are just going to say “A good dad would DO ANYTHING for his kids”. That is trite and just not true. We all have our limits, and LIMITS is a part of what I am trying to get at through this post. Tell me how far over the line you have gone. Has anyone taken a bullet . . . gone to prison . . . sacrificed a belief system . . .emptied their savings . . .?
