A New Way to Show You Love Them
Every man wants to hear that they are loved, appreciated, and valued. It may be hard for them to say it in return or to receive, but this Father’s Day would be a great time to express your love and appreciation in a new way.
Father’s Day can be as special as you make it. It’s not really about the gifts and cards, but more about trying to show love to the men in our lives.
In the times that we live in now, it’s even more important to show love to the black men around us. Tell them that they are appreciated and loved. There are more and more cases where they are being killed. So instead of watching the news, express love to your fathers, sons, uncles, and other men in your life.
Happy Father’s Day!
