As another Father’s Day is commemorated, for me it is just another day that I think about the man in my life who has had the single most impact on who I am.

While you don’t have to be a man to father a child, we all have to take responsibility for the numerous “fatherless” children brought into this world annually.

I applaud the men who, not only father children but also become daddies who play an important role in guiding young boys and girls.

To those men who would like to be fathers, I say, show your sons the father you want them to be to their children and the man you want them to be to their wives.

On this Father’s Day, I salute those men.
