Inaugural Daddy Blogging UNconference kicks off to honor dads

! !As Father’s Day quickly approaches, many Dads have begun to wonder if they’re doing a good job. !When single dad Lawrence McGee was growing up in Orange County, Calif., his dad would take him to their neighborhood park each day to teach him the game of basketball. Together, they learned the game of life. “I didn’t know how hard it would be until I actually

had to do it on my own,” Larry McGee, said about raising his son, now 17. !“You think he’d complain or act out, not having a mom around, but he’s been on my side this whole time. He didn’t even cry as a baby.” !Like many hardworking, hard-on-themselves parents – especially single moms and dads – Larry doesn’t give himself nearly enough credit. He often wonders if he’s doing enough for his son, and struggles to express his emotions at times. He bottles up his doubts and fears. !

“He’s like me in that way,” Larry says of his son, who just finished his junior year of high school. !“He tries to handle things on his own first before coming to me. I tell him he doesn’t have to carry the whole world on his shoulders, and that I’m here to give him a hand.” !See the commercial and all the 2015 finalists at DaddyBlogging.com
