Just because you have the title does not mean you are the title.

In honor of fathers day I would like to dedicate this posting to my father. Just because you have a child does not mean you are a parent. Just because a man has a child does not mean that he is a father. My father is a real father. He is not a father simply because he had me, but because of the things he has done and still does. There are qualities that come along with filling a title. You can have the requirements to be something, but not have the actual qualities it takes to really be that title. See being a parent is more than just having a child. You have to provide for that child, protect them, teach them and be an example for them. That is the short list, the complete list of what it takes to be a parent innumerable. Some men have the requirements to be fathers, but have not done the things it takes to be a real father.
