Winston Elba died in September after losing a battle with lung cancer.

He was such a tough man and he would just expect me to get on with it,” Elba told Winfrey regarding his reluctance to dwell on his father’s death.” When I call my mum’s house the answering machine is still my dad. And the thing about his lung cancer is that it took his voice away, but the answering machine is his full voice. Two things happen…I get super, super sad when I hear that but I’m also really happy that he’s still there. It’s the only bit of his voice that I have.”

Op 5 stars for this one homie. Its sad that I a lot of young brothas and sistas grow up without a father:smh:....but keep doing your thing mane. You already really know!
 
It's all good till the baby's mom snatches them away and demands unaffordable child support or you can't see them, then has this munchkin calling you asking for shit knowing full well your broke just so they can say "your daddy don't do shit for you". Meanwhile, random nigga's have more access to your kid than you ever will again.

Then you learn how not to care really fast.





























Yeah, I know, they're coming

This picture always fucks me up.

Fams if a trifling mother makes you not care about your kid thats on you. Same way she took you to court for child support you could take her to court for visitation whether you're paying child support or not, a woman cannot deny you access to your child.

We have millions of black men who let a failed relationship and the shame of being broke keep them away from their kids. Its not healthy for you or your child. You can't change the mother, but it sounds like being broke has broken you down. Dont let it. You can still teach him/her. Your presence means a lot to a kid, please don't walk away from your child. We dont need another person in our community doing that. You obviously made a bad choice with the mother, dont make another by abandoning your child. It is literally the worse thing you can do.

A walk in the park and game of basketball is free. A frisbee is pretty cheap. A mother can bad mouth a dad all she wants, ur his/her dad and as long as you persevere and be there, and let the kid know you love him/her they will see it later in life.

I would break a door down, fight, burn shit, protest at her job, plant drugs in her house if I had to. Nothing on this planet would keep me from seeing and spending time with my children. Nothing. And I mean every fucking word of this.

i came into this world with both parents in the same home, my fav pic is us with me on his lap, i was under a yr old he
was 30. and damn do i look just like him now in that pic. he is great, even though moms and him grew apart he was still in
my life. every summer and anytime i wasnt in school i went with him to work(construction). he was one hard guy with my bros and i, that belt was no joke. i only seen him cry 4 times, seenin my daughter his first grandbaby for the first time,
death of mom and dad, and when i came back from bootcamp. i was his best man at his second wedding. we've had our ups and
downs, ive seen him push moms around and ive had him point a gun at me(he was drunk) and say look at this and pulled the
trigger. for a long time i hated him but i went to him and got that off my chest, we've been best buds since. he's not the
best father someone could be but he was the best for me. i am who i am cause of him. i am the best father cause of him.

This thread got me :crymeariver::crymeariver::crymeariver:

2 Girls, 2 Boys... People tell me all the time, 'Your such a good Dad', but I feel I can never do enough for my littles ones.
 
Wow! Great thread. My first time seeing this.

I'm not a father but was raised by a great one in a two parent household. Disciplinarian ala James Evans from Good Times. I always use that example as the type of household that I grew up in. Didn't find out till my 30s how rare that is for a black man in America to have been raised like that. And I grew up dirt poor but happy well fed and a great childhood.

Salute to BGOL fathers taking care of biz and all the real dads out there.
