For the last 2 years I’ve been trying to teach these guys valuable life lessons. Really think they’re starting to sink in.... 1. There’s no substitute for hard work. Be a go getter. 2. Your body is a temple. Be sure to treat it well. 3. Respect other people’s personal space. 4/5. You got your dads genes. Keep it low key on the dance floor. Happy fathers day to all the dads out there passing on their wisdom.

Growing up I used to always be pissed off not having my father and mom in my life. I would stay in fights, curse out teachers and was just a trouble maker. Throughout the years I found a way to put that pain of being abandoned in to a small little box and throw it away.. the pain never went away until July 26 2019. My son you have been the biggest blessing on this earth and I’m proud to be called dada. When you was born I told you that I refuse to be like my dad who decided not to be in my life. You’ll never have to worry about anything. Happy Father’s Day to all the great dads in this world. Love you Journey #happyfathersday #firstfathersday #fathersongoals Thank you @dunchegs for the pics!

My motivation, my Bestfriend, my Son. These past few years have been a blessing for me. Watching you grow everyday has been a learning experience. You’re teaching me how to grow as a father and as a Man. You have helped me find my reason “Why”. The days after practice or a game has taught me no matter how tired, sore or bad I did, Daddy duties don’t stop. You are going to find a way to get me up. Either to play with you, or you probably just getting into shit🤣😅. But I just want you to know Being called “Dad” has been the best title I have ever received . I love you Stinky ❤️#happyFathersDay #BabyKrazyKazee

Fatherhood...something that encapsulates so much responsibility and impact on this world. Something that I am so thankful to be apart of and get to partake in. Thankful for every influence that I’ve had in my life on my fatherhood and the opportunity to continue to refine and develop more for my present and future kids. Thank you dad for just being what you were able to. Thank you mom for being everything else I needed in my fatherhood. Thank you to all the fathers out there that aren’t just in the picture, but that are the picture. That are present and feeding love, compassion, empathy, courage, confidence, support, and all the things this world is lacking especially during these times. It starts here Fathers! Lay our pain and trauma to rest, remember it but don’t let it keep us from creating something more for our kinfolk. We get to be the change. Happy Fathers Day. #HappyFathersDay #FathersDay #Fathers #Blessed #Thankful #BeTheChange
