Episode 32 | Reinforced Support Systems

As One Begins Construction On A Building, The Importance Of A Solid Foundation, And Reinforced Support Systems, Is Something That Cannot Be Overlooked, If You Seek To Ensure That The Structure Is Able To Stand On It's Own... That's How I've Grown To Understand Parenting; As A Joint Venture, Between Two Companies, Entrusted With The Role Of Building A Self-Sufficient Structure; When The Support Systems Within The Building, Are Lacking, Or Improperly Attended To, Due To Societal Realities, Like Divorce, It's Even More Pivotal, That The Building Is Reinforced, With An Added Support System, That Makes Up For That Failing Within The Foundation.

My Father & I, Haven't Always Seen Eye-To-Eye On Many Things - When My Parents Divorced, I Found It Harder To Fathom The Extent Of His Apparent Lacking, Within My Support System - For The Longest Time, I Even Blamed Him For What He Wasn't Able To Be For Me, As A Father. When I Became A Man, I Found It Easier To Comprehend What He Was Going Through, Even As He Tried To Build A New Life, And Forgive Himself For Some Of The Choices He Made. I'm Growing Closer To My Father Now, By Grace, And I'm Grateful For The Reinforcement That His Presence Provides, On A Physical, Emotional, And Spiritual Level - I Wouldn't Trade Any Of That Hurt From The Past, Because It Helped Me Appreciate The Grace We Have As Father & Son Today, While Preparing Me To Fully Love My Seeds, In The Future - I Guess That Age-Old Adage Is True, It's Better Late, Than Never...

While I Was Out Searching For The Love, That I Felt I Never Had, My Mother Did Everything She Could, To Supplement That Shortfall, And Some. My Mom Played So Many Roles In My Life, That I Momentarily Took Her For Granted, Through My Dependence On Looking For Some Outward Validation, Or Acceptance From My Father - By The Time I Grew Out Of That Adolescent Stage, My Mother's Love Was There To Help Make Me Whole Again - I'm Forever Grateful To My Mother, For Who She Is To Me, And Who She Raised Me To Be, As A Man. I Pray To Marry A Woman Who Embodies Such Character, While Being The Man Who Compliments Her, The Way A Man Ought To, And Give My Mother The Grandchildren She Prays For, To Continue Flowing Her Endless Streams Of Love Into, For Generation's To Come.

May You Support Systems Be Reinforced, We We Continue To Fight The Good Fight... For Those Who Were, And Those Who Are Still To Come, We Pray For Freedom.

Yours 2ruly.
