Happy pre-Father’s Day!

by Clayton Craddock • June 6, 2014 • 0 Comments

I could save this for Sunday but this is what life is all about. Kids need their mother AND their father.

For all of you reading this who are pissed off at your ex for whatever reason, your children aren’t. They will always be in a search for the other half of their DNA in one way or another if one half isn’t a constant presence in their lives.

The good thing about this video is that these parents are working together.

If you aren’t able to do what you see in this video, find a way. Separate your pain from your child’s need for balance.

I could go on and on and on, but you can visit by blog or call me on the phone for more reasons why fathers matter.

Happy pre-Father’s Day!
