A SINGLE DAD WEARS A LOT OF HATS

I LOVE MY TWO GIRLS AND ENJOY BEING A PARENT TO THEM. BEING A SINGLE DAD CALLS FOR A LOT OF MY TIME AND I MUST WHERE SEVERAL HATS AROUND OUR HOUSE. MY FAVORITE AND MOST RECENT HAT, IS MY MISTER MOM HAT. THIS HAT BASICALLY STAYS ON ALL OF THE TIME, ALTHOUGH IT CAN ALSO BE WORN WITH VARIOUS OTHER HATS AS WELL.

I'VE BEEN A SINGLE PARENT NOW FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS. THE GIRLS HAVEN'T SEEN THEIR MOM SINCE THEN EITHER. SO AS YOU MIGHT IMAGINE, AT TIMES THEY START THINKING ABOUT HER AND ASKING WHY SHE LEFT, AND AT THAT POINT I NEED TO PUT ON A VERY SPECIAL HAT. I AM NOW THEIR NURTURER, THEIR TEACHER, THEIR FRIEND, AND A LOVING DAD. I NEED TO SHOW EMPATHY, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME ASSURING THEM EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT JUST FINE. NOW I MUST WEAR THE PROTECTIVE FATHER HAT. I MUST SEE TO IT THAT EVERYTHING DOES WORK OUT FOR MY CHILDREN, BECAUSE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER I GIVE THEM EVERYTHING I POSSIBLY CAN.
