Happy Thursday!
Day 4 of our Father's Day week of "papa posts" belongs to a rather new member of Brookey's Blog Family. You know him as "Geeque", but he's "Daddy" to baby Leah. Give it up to Stan y'all!
Daddy’s Little Girl!...by Stanley "Geeque4u" Vielot.
The day my daughter came into the world, a rush of emotions overwhelmed me. I fought back the tears as I thought of all the women that had played a special part in my life. I was raised by my grandmother and mother, and I have a sister that means the world to me. I married the most wonderful woman - and now I was staring at a new little lady that I knew would be the next special woman in my life. As I cut the umbilical cord, I promised myself that I was going to be the best dad that I could be.

I married the most wonderful woman - and now I was staring at a new little lady that I knew would be the next special woman in my life. As I cut the umbilical cord, I promised myself that I was going to be the best dad that I could be.
My wife and I are going on five years of marriage, and the addition of our baby girl Leah made the relationship and marriage even sweeter. I could not imagine life with out these two beautiful ladies. I am watching my daughter grow now and there is nothing more rewarding. She is such a little character and she has captured my heart in so many ways. When I walk into her room in the morning and she opens up her arms so that Daddy can take her out of the crib, it melts my heart. When my wife and I drop her off to the babysitter in the morning, she screams, "Goodbye Daddy!" and blows me kisses...which I hold on to so I can have a better day.
My little princess has me wrapped around her little finger - and this PROUD Daddy is not embarrassed to admit it. She is at the age where she is always getting herself into trouble and is practically destroying the house. She recently broke my flat screen TV, which caused me to become very angry. But when I looked into those eyes, I could do nothing but smile. Oh well...I guess I'll be the first one on line at the 4th July Sales. :-)
I sometimes put pressure on myself when I think about the life I want to give my daughter as I watch her grow - we live in a difficult world. I pray every day that God continues to give me the strength so that I can be there to guide her and make her a strong woman like the ones who raised me to become a strong man and father.
Happy Father's Day to all the Daddies and to the mothers who have played that role since the beginning of time.

I don't know if I'm first or second but I don't even care!! :)
I got tears in my eyes when I read this yesterday. I thought it was beautiful. What made it more heartfelt is that I LOVE this family. They are wonderful people. We are like one blended family. We are always together. I admire Stan & Nay as a couple. They are REAL. They love, the fight & they endure. And as parents they've bonded even more. Heck they've obviously inspired me. Sophia is EXACTLY 9 months younger than Leah!!! :)
Happy Father's Day Stan!
First Beotches!!!!
Only right because it'e my baby's Daddy!!!
Anna you are lucky you are my Fincee or I would tase you for posting first!
It's crazy sitting here reading my boy Stan the Man's Daddy blog and thinking what I wrote yesterday knowing back in college, us frat boys were partying like there was no tomorrow? (Blue Phi!!!) Now look at as, all grown up being responsible parents!
We are at a different stage in our lives and we are blessed to have the chance to impart into the lives of our offsprings.
You da man Stan!
I tip my hat to all the daddies doing what they need to do for thier kids!
Being a Dad is knowing TrUe LoVe.
I luv my Uncle Stan!
Anna is Ms. Nay's fiancee??? LoL!
Another great blog by a wonderful daddy! That little girl is adorable and I can see why she'd have you wrapped around her finger.
Yet another inspiring read from a first rate Dad! Love it!
Thank you Stef, she is quite a character…
@Austin - You know!!!!
Yes we have a communal family. Austin & I are marrying each other & Nay and Stan! Lmao
Leah & Sophia are cousin/sisters! Lol
uh...ok...??? :-)
Sounds like a great family unit! LOL!
This was a great read, you could feel the love. Some men I know think that being all mushy over your wife and kids isn't "manly." I on the other hand can't wait to have my own family and share that love everyday. It's a maturity thing, and a stage of life I'm looking forward to. Congrats on your marriage and parenthood, bruh.
@Jay - No Doubt!! Thanks
Daddy's and their little girls are so precious. It's so important because you are usually the first man she falls in love with, and she will choose her future mates based on the love, attention and lessons she learns (directly or indirectly) from her father. It seems that baby Leah is truly blessed to have a father who takes his responsibility seriously and wants to raise her into the strong woman she was meant to be. It can be tricky to become that type of man when they are primarily raised by women, so kudos to your mother and grandmother for raising you to be the type of man, husband and father we can ALL be proud of!
Dang, Annamaria couldn't even let his wife be first???!!! LOL!!
Joking aside, this was great! That feeling you get when you see your child in the morning, knowing that they love you unconditionally just because you're dad is the best. I know at the time there was doubt, confusion and fear when I found out I was gonna be a dad, but now I wouldn't have it any other way. Congrats on your marriage and on being a kick ass dad. It's the best job in the world!
@Cable Guy - I agree, there is no better job!!!
Well said Ms Penn!!
Another great blog by another great dad! Running out of superlatives for you men - all I can say is you're just as inspirational and uplifting as the men who have already posted this week, Geeque/Stan.
Respect!!
Great blog...I think its a fantastic ideal to pass along.
Kudos to the job being done bruh...
Keep the faith.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am not the emotional type so put off reading this post in its entirety because I knew it would cause me to tear up. As I read what my wonderful husband wrote I thanked God again for bringing him into life and for sending us such a beautiful little girl to nurture and raise. There are not enough words to say how great Stan is as a father and husband. He loves us two gals unconditionally and we love him just the same… Happy Father’s Day Babe.
Happy Father’s Day to all the blog dads and moms.
I wanted to add something regarding the posts that we've been blessed enough to read this week. I know these blogs are about being great daddies, but what I also take away from it is that there are also GOOD MEN out there, period. Women complain day in and day out that there are no good men out there and that black relationships are dead. Well, clearly from the blogs we've read this week, as well as the comments from men who chime in, there ARE good, black men out there and the ARE capable of being in loving relationships and being committed to another person - child or no child. I know that was a bit of a tangent, but it gives me hope to know that there are men out there who WANT to become husbands and fathers and who aren't afraid to love and be loved. Anyone can father a child, like Powerz said the other day, and anyone can get married. But fathering a child doesn't make you a daddy and getting married doesn't just mean you're a husband or a partner. Black love is alive and well and I'm glad Brooke gave light to the fact that there ARE men out there for us, we just have to open our eyes. Thanks Brooke!
Rameer, DMoe - Thanks!!
you are so RIGHT Ms. Penn. It's so easy to become jaded when it comes to relationships - Lord knows I have. It's hard to find a man to DATE, let alone marry and have children with. But like you said, this shows that there are men out there who look forward to marrying and having a family - and take on the responsibility unwavering. And even when the relationships don't work, they don't give up - on themselves, their children or on finding love again and taking a chance. Powerz, Cable Guy and DMurray could have given up on love and commitment and said "I"m never getting married again" - but they just realized that having an unsuccessful relationship wasn't the end of the world and that if it wasn't for that relationship, they wouldn't have their beautiful children. Everything happends for a reason, and thru it all we take the lessons with us.
They are good men who do their best and love their family. There are more men out there like them, now all I need to do is just find him - and make sure I'm right when I do!
I've been reading all week, and just wanted to say that all of you are great fathers and examples to the rest of us on how a responsible, loving father should be. I know we think alot of women don't see and appreciate good men in the world, but other men need to see it too. I've been inspired by you all this week, so thank you Brooke for turning your blog over to the bruhs holding it down.
Stan this was an awesome read! I was blessed to meet both Mrs. Geeque ;) and lil mama Leah. You're blessed.
I'm so inspired as Ms. Penn said, there ARE good men out there!
Stef we'll go on dates one day and meet Mr. Right. All in God's time.
