Gratitude for all the ‘uncles’ shaping my boys into the men they will become.
For many single mothers, Father’s Day can be a poignant reminder that they are parenting alone. But in our home, this day takes on a different meaning: It is a chance to honor and celebrate the diverse men who step in to fill fatherly roles in my sons’ lives — the men who support, love and guide my boys.
Then one evening, my own bonus dad invited me out for dinner. He acknowledged the great job I was doing alone and praised how well-mannered and smart the boys are, how much light they bring to his life. He helped me realize how my feelings were overshadowing the ways he and other men were showing up for us.Yes, I often think life would be easier with a spouse present to share the load of two busy toddlers . But many remarkable “uncles” are helping me raise them.
