Fatherhood Doesn't End at 18

Being a father doesn't stop when a child turns 18.
That's a myth.

I've been raising kids for 23 years now—and I started young myself, becoming a father at 16. Every single day since then has been a lesson. Some days gentle. Some days hard. All of them meaningful.

Having six kids will humble you fast.
They're all different. Different personalities. Different emotions. Different needs. Different paths.

Some kids will fly out of the coop at 18, ready to take on the world. Others may stay close, finding their rhythm at a different pace. And you know what? Both are okay.

I genuinely love having my kids around—and thankfully, they love being around too. That's something I never take for granted.

The Real Work Continues

I've never been easy on them, not because I'm harsh, but because I want them to grow. I want them prepared for life, not protected from it. But one of the biggest lessons fatherhood teaches you is this: no matter how much you want something for your kids, their future is ultimately theirs.

"My job isn't to control the outcome. My job is to love, support, guide, and stay present."

That mindset will never change.

God trusted me with this opportunity—to lead, to learn, to serve, and to grow alongside my children—and I will always honor that responsibility with gratitude and effort.

Growth is Forever

Every day I try to be better than yesterday.
For them.
And for myself.

Stay blessed.
