Black Daddies Club: Why Didn’t You Stay?
Father-hunger.
It’s bone deep. And despite the passage of time, the psychic trauma caused by fatherlessness often manages to envelop the lives of the children of missing daddies like a toxic mist.
In many ways, Black Daddies are both the knife’s edge upon which our sons and daughters are so precariously balanced, and the gentle arms that catch and cradle them when they fall.
Yes, we are that important.
If you doubt the truth of this statement, take a moment to watch this powerful PSA detailing the devastating effects of father-absence on the men and women who were forced to grow up without daddy. Let it take hold of your heart and – if you happen to be a Black Daddy – allow it to inspire you to recommit yourself to the sacred vocation of fatherhood.
