Meek Mill heeft voor vaderdag een hartverwarmende brief geschreven aan zijn pas 4-jarige zoontje, die is gepubliceerd via Time, waarin hij o.a. vertelt hoe hij zonder vader opgroeide en hoe hij zou willen dat hij meer tijd over zou hebben om bij zijn zoon te zijn.
Lees een gedeelte van de brief hieronder:
“With my career and my crazy schedule, sometimes it’s tough to be able to spend the amount of time with him that I want and that he deserves. After spending time away from him, one of my favorite things to do is get on my four wheeler with my little man in tow. Picture us riding around my neighborhood waving at all my neighbors. My son is fearless on his bike. Those are the moments I think about when I’m on the road.”
“I never had a strong male figure in my life. I didn’t have that person to teach me things fathers teach their sons because my father was killed when I was young. It was just me, my mom, and my sister, so I had to be the man of the house. When I was younger, I remember being able to speak to my father and then in the blink of an eye, he was gone . My mom played the role of both mom and dad. We had nothing growing up, so my mom worked any job she could find to provide for me and my sister. I love her so much for that. But as much as I appreciated everything my mother did for me, she couldn’t fill the space that a father should hold in a child’s life.”
