Are you a single father, maybe you're a dad too busy working, are you going through divorce? Are you always on the road and need help staying in touch with your children the way they deserve?
Just because you are too busy, too forgetful with too much going on, does not mean your kids need to pay the price for you not being there.
I am a father of 17 years living in New Jersey, USA, I have made these very same mistakes. While picking up my daughter some months back I realized yet again I had forgot to mail a card I promised her and I thought to myself "enough was enough!" I needed to step up and do those little things as well as the everyday things it takes to be a dad. I created fathers in touch, an idea I have had for many years born out of my own experiences, a resource for dads and fathers to be the best that they can be.
I cannot think that my life's lessons were all in vain, I'm hoping that some of my losses can be your gain in not making some of the larger mistakes I have made during this time. I am offering to you the single dad what I was not offered, what was not available for me when starting this journey. An affordable yet priceless service to help you on your way, tools to help you be a better father, to enable your kids to one day look back and know that you were most certainly there for them with overflowing love.
I can't help you throw a ball with your children, take them to movies, fly a kite or sit down with them to teach them about the birds and the bees, but I can offer you tools and services to make the process of handling a divorce or living away from your kids easier, about taking out some of the guess work, and getting you reminders at the right time, making sure you follow through on promises to your children (they don't forget and will remember for years if you forget to follow through on your promises, trust me) I wish I had these services or someone there to guide me all those years ago.
If life isn't about learning from your mistakes, about adjusting your course as you encounter life's storms, about growing as an individual and handing down the lessons to guide those pieces of your heart that walk outside of you, then what it is about?
I am not here to say this way or that way is THE way, I am simply saying here are some great tools to help your children grow, knowing they are loved and cherished by their dads. A chance for you to leave a lasting mark on them, to help them grow as balanced as we could ever hope.
I remember all the lessons my own father taught me, both good and bad. I cannot imagine the man that I may be today without his guidance, about knowing how much he loves me and that no matter what, he is there always in the background, just a thought and for now thankfully a phone call away. To this day I am by no means perfect, but I still grow and ever evolve because of my strong sense of who I am due to the words and maybe more importantly the actions handed down to me from my father. It didn't mean my dad had to be perfect, it meant he showed me both good and bad, but also the wisdom to know there difference between the two, he showed me how to be my own man, to make my own choices.
So to all you single dads out there starting your journey or the veteran single father, or anyone going through divorce or who have children out there in the world, I am here to offer assistance in making sure that your kids don't pay the price of a forgetful mind or a life that's too busy.
