“When I was in primary school my dad used to travel to Japan for business. Whenever he came back, he made sure he took me to school himself, and I was assured of a biscuit every morning for as long as he was around.

That’s one thing I cannot forget. I knew my father was my provider and that he loved me so much. Growing up, I always told myself I would never drink alcohol just like my father. He was a businessman and that inspired me to love business as well. My father has always asked me to respect elders, and to also do the right thing and follow the right ways in every way possible.

When I was getting married, he called me and said, ‘Morgan if you’re planning to get married, you come to where I am and tell me about it. Don’t let me look for you please’. That was a lesson for me that if I’m to take the next step in my life, I needed to be accountable.

My father is traditional and as you know most African parents are providers, that’s what he did most of the times. Socially we meet every now and then to try and build a better relationship together or sometimes we just talk on phone to check on each other. I think our journey is great because I see the effort and I appreciate it. When I forget to call him, he calls and says, “Morgan have you forgotten about me!?”

This story is part of the project called “#MyFatherSeries” that we are carrying out with our friends at Humans of Uganda. We hope to share a series of life stories of different boys and men about their experiences with their fathers or father-figures. We hope this will bring healing of relationships and an opportunity to celebrate fathers every day. Above all, our prayer is that all men who share and read these real life stories will discover the heart of God the Father through our encouragement and community.

Thank you for reading! God bless you.

We are building a united force of men walking proudly and courageously in wisdom, knowledge and understanding of our identity in Christ. Surrendering our pain, fear, shame and guilt to Him. We believe every son needs a present father who raises them to be men who are spiritually, physically, financially, socially and emotionally strong through discipleship and mentorship.
