Graduation day was the first day that my boyfriend and my dad would meet; my mind was racing because I wasn’t going to be the one to introduce Jordan to my dad, my mother would be.

“For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God…” 1 Thessalonians 2:11-12 This scripture outlines the role as a father.
