The rapper, in an editorial he wrote for
Time.com, has detailed the joys of being a father and the responsibility he
places on himself as a dad. ‘As a father, now I get to give my son the life I
never had. Being able to give him anything he wants is one of the best feelings
in the world, but it’s also
scary,’ he wrote. ‘The fact that no one can teach
you how to be a father means you are always learning on the job. I love my son
with all my heart, and I would do anything for him. ‘It’s a crazy feeling
knowing that I will help him become a great man.’ Meek also detailed his own
childhood and says that his mom acted both as his father and mother. Like many
single mothers, she worked as hard as she could to provide for her children. He
recalled that when he was younger he was able to speak to his father for only a
short while, when he said: ‘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. Meek Mill grew up without a
father in his life and he wants to make sure that change for his own son.
