As the facilitator for the local Fathers Network group ("A powerful voice for fathers of children with special needs"), I have not found a lot of information out there for dads. Every search I did with Google came back with 95% moms and 5% family related sites. Not a single one for specifically dedicated to dads! Well, besides the Fathers Network, but I am trying to find more out there. Why is that? What makes dad's so different from mothers? I don't think there is much of a difference, so I will be undergoing a new task - produce one!
I don't know what happened about 8 months ago, but I'm sure it was something Zoe did and the light clicked. Here is a beautiful little girl, full of love and always smiling, about to start growing up in a society which will treat her differently than most people. I knew that I had to start making a change, for her, for others that have a disability, and for society to realize what they would be missing if they didn't get to know these individuals. I know my daughter is destined for great things, and she will accomplish her purpose of why she was placed on this earth. I owe it to her, myself, and others, to start making changes where I can as a dad.
With all Zoe has taught me in the past 8 years, I know she has a bright future.
Dad's, we shall soon have a place!
