We pour that love into each other, and we embrace that love from each other with thankful hearts. So much so, that parts of ourselves live within the other. Nothing and no one could separate us. Nothing and no one could jeapordize our love. That's the magnitude of our daddy daughter love. That's me and Chaya.”
― Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr

“Only mothers can conceive a child. Only mothers can physically give birth to a child. Only mothers can breast feed. Everyone recognizes the uniqueness of motherhood. Everyone knows that mothers are irreplaceable. But as a student of nature, I know that everything is in balance. So it is also true that fathers are superior to mothers in some ways and there are unique ways that fathers can love children and lead children that mothers simply are not capable of. And ultimately, everything balances out - mothers and fathers are equally important to children.”
― Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr, CEO of Mayflower-Plymouth

“A lot of mothers turn toxic when a divorce or separation takes place. In their bitterness, they use the child as a weapon against the father. And in too many places the law passively supports their toxic behavior and it's the child and the fathers relationship that suffers in the short term. But you can't go against the laws of nature. The importance of fatherhood is indisputable. And children always reach for their fathers.”
― Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr, CEO of Mayflower-Plymouth

“I advocate for fatherhood because of the trauma I experienced as a father. When I separated from my daughters mother, she literally tried to destroy my relationship with my daughter. She did everything she could to jeapordize me and my daughters daddy-daughter relationship. She prioritized maternal control over the presence of paternal love. She was willing to hurt her own daughter in an effort to hurt me because she was jealous that I got married and was happy with my new family. I want to help create a world where no father and no daughter ever has to suffer the way me and my daughter did because of a divorce or separation.”
― Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr

“When divorce or separation involves mutual children, it's often the father who suffers the most as a parent and the children who suffer in regards to their relationship with their dad. During my separation, my daughters mom used our daughter as a weapon in an effort to hurt me. She knew that I love my daughter immensely and so she would do all kinds of manipulative tricks to get in the way of our daddy daughter relationship in an effort to cause me emotional pain. She was willing to cause our daughter emotional pain in her effort to cause me emotional pain. Unfortunately, millions of fathers and children have experienced this pain. It has to end.”
― Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr

“There's something beautiful about a mothers embrace. And there's something magical about a fathers affirmations.”

“The light from behind her father’s eyes resembled not so much the dimness of time but rather a sort of eclipse. It was almost as if he was two men trapped in one body and that the bigger, brighter, star of a man he used to be had become eclipsed by this small, sturdy, rock of a man that sat before me. His every glance seemed to be warning me - shouting at me - that to live the life of a modern man is to live a life eclipsed.”
― Sean Norris, Heaven and Hurricanes

“The doctor who had examined Amy's baby appeared, pronounced the boy healthy and handed the little guy to Keith.
Keith stared at the doctor. "Wait. Why are you giving him to me?"
"Ms. Baker regained consciousness for a moment is the ambulance and made the paramedic pull out his phone and record her request of giving you custody until she could talk to you."
"Me?"
The man nodded. "And since you're the law around here..." The doctor shrugged and walked away.”
― Sami A. Abrams, Twin Murder Mix-Up

“Just like the startle or the grasp reflex, crying is a reflex. There does not have to be an emotional, or even physical, reason behind the cry.”
― Leon Levitt, What Do I Do Now? The basics of parenting babies... without stress

“Despite saying that very young babies are primitive, it remains vital that we touch them, hold them, respond to them. One cannot just leave a baby on its own! Interacting with the baby is essential for them, not just in that moment. The development of the baby's senses requires stimulation. Vision will not develop well in the dark. Hearing will not develop in the absence of speaking and singing to them. It definitely matters to them, they just do not know who is touching and holding them.”

“A father is the man who can change a world he will not be part of by building the tiny human that is part of him.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“As boys grow to men, they keep score on their fathers. In one column goes the wins—the times he protected his family, provided for them so they did not know hunger, taught his children how to navigate the world. In the other column are his sins. Sometimes, these losses weigh heavily.”
― Myun Haing Kim

“Paternally Grateful by Stewart Stafford

O flesh of my flesh, know this,
I would give my life willingly,
Endure any ordeal or torment,
So you may grow and prosper.

Tongues lisping out male mockery,
Knock a noble half of themselves,
And consume their bitter meat,
In acts of black hole cannibalism.

Fathers' legacies pass into legend,
No more alive than they once were,
Moral stains are gazer's blemishes,
A scratched cornea in a cloudy eye..

“I'd discovered how proud and fragile men could be, the sense of self that courses through their veins. I knew that fathers and sons were capable of killing each other. Whether it was father's killing their sons, or sons killing the fathers, men always emrged victorious, and all that was left for me to do was weep.”
― Orhan Pamuk, Kırmızı Saçlı Kadın

“A sweet little baby girl sleeping just next to me.

Her attractive brows on the eyes are like rainbow in the skies.

Seeing repeatedly her Cute little face, which is undoubtedly full of grace.

Ofcourse I am trying to sleep, but out of sheet again and again prefering to peep.

Stopping myself in continuity, thought of writing the experience once properly awake

But I Can’t doze sound, since I wanna jot it down right away without any mistake

Lucky I am, to have this small yet best blessing everyday on my side

A proud father is rhyming today for his beloved daughter which he consider his pride

A sweet little baby girl sleeping just next to me.

Endless Gratitude lord for reminding to rhyme even when I am half asleep!!”
― Harpreet Gaba

“Her father is a burden she shouldn’t have to carry, but she does. He had made her feel unsafe in the world when his one job was to make her feel protected.”
