Ricky Rick took to social media today to open up about what he feels about being a father in a lengthy post. This is what the musician posted;
The hardest thing Ive been dealing with for almost half my life is not having a father there for me when I needed him the most. My father passed on when I was a teenager and that grieve is something I still hadn’t dealt with as an adult. People who were around me while I was trying numb the pain will remember how destructive my life was. No matter how far I tried to run, tragedy would follow me. I couldn’t escape my demons. I had lost hope. But I never lost hope in God. Even though I was living in the darkness he managed to love me enough to bring light into my life. My son maik, like so many others, was unplanned. But he was the perfect miracle to show me that Gods plans is way better than my plan. Becoming a father changed my life. Gave me a reason to keep fighting. I know I cannot correct the past but having my child by my side on this journey lets me know that there is always room for better days when you believe in God. It is only by his grace that we are still here. By no means am I a perfect person, sometimes my demons have a way tryna come back into my life but all I have to do is look at my son for proof that God is still with me.
Happy Fathers day to all the young dads out there. Your miracles came early. Take care of those kids with your life. BE STRONG. ENJOY THE JOURNEY. STAY SHINING.
