Preach it brother!
As a mother of 2 daughters, these fathers must be living in la-la land. My daughters look to their father for everyhthing. (Even though the 16 year old can be a little brutal at times) They are well-rounded young women because of his emotional support.
Sadly lots of dads may be loving, supporting and all the rest but they have no idea how necessary that is. A girl literally craves her father's approval. Even today as a grown woman I still talk to my dad about things and seek his advise. I love my mom, don't get me wrong, but there are somethings only a dad can give you.
So true. My wonderful father died when I was 21. I was married with a baby, but it was as if the bottom had dropped out of my world. I no longer felt safe and even though I still had my mother I no longer had Dad's special love when I needed bolstering. Worse yet, my babies would never know this wonderful grandfather of theirs.
