Beautiful work, Miss Thena. You are so right, fathers are just as important and in need of our gratitude as mothers. Society has thrown fatherhood by the wayside, but without them how would our daughters learn that they should be respected by the boys they date, or our sons learn to develop goodness of character? Their place in the home is a necessity, not a privilege. As you can see, you have hit a soft spot with me, but it gets under my skin the way fathers have been devalued in our society.
