Introduction
I’m back
This is my first blog post in years and my first as a Dad. Although my eldest is 6 and the pigeon pair twins just turned 3, so needless to say I’m a completely different person since my last post.
Being a Dad is a gift
What an awesome gift it is to be a Dad. I can’t imagine my life without my 3 kids and yet there are times I want to just give up and go hide or run away.
It’s such a deep and fulfilling feeling to be so needed and so responsible for another person’s life. It fills my heart and soul with a sense of pride and joy just thinking about them, and it’s been what helped me through some of the most difficult periods of my life so far.
It has opened my mind to prepare in different ways for the future and gave me a new sense of purpose. I feel blessed and anointed with a higher purpose for my life and even a sense that there is less pressure on me and my ambitions in life, as long as I can impart enough value in the form of my knowledge, life experience, guidance and advice.
One of the main reasons I feel that being a Dad is a gift is that at one stage I wasn’t sure that I could even have children. As a cancer survivor, and chemotherapy survivor from the age of 5, I feel it’s a miracle that I’ve even survived this long, let alone started a family.
I was told that the treatment I received could possibly affect my heart or affect my Fertility. So I made it this far
