Real and gritty perspectives! Have had many single father experiences in my earlier, fast-paced D.C. life. Now married for years and a grand father, many manhood questions could be answered by having men active in raising a girl. See what you learn about yourself! The essence of manhood is being a father, as my greatest lesson on manhood was when I was doing my thing talking to 3 yr old grand daughter, and she tuned out, saying "you hurt my feelings." It stopped me cold and made me check out my self, feelings and needs, then what I thought my message was and how she interpreted it. More than style, or "flavor" it was all about love and how I was giving it. Check it out. Respect God as he is Father to us - Life still all about the child, Jesus Christ.
