Father’s day is a holiday, just as important as mother’s day, but often played down much less. Because well, that’s what father’s do. Dads are the silent, yet continuous set of working hands within your life. If you’ve had a good father figure in your life growing up, you’ve seen your father working hard to make ends meet, keep the bills paid and at the same time, keep you going. But the thing is, even though you see it, you will never hear them. Fathers have a special way of getting things done quietly, but efficiently. They do it without all the ruckus and reminders that they are constantly working for the family’s future.
If you can remember and cherish the times that your dad taught you how to ride a bike or taught you to change a tire, then consider yourself lucky. If you remember dads who have made you meals and have done your hair, even luckier. It takes more than just contributing some chromosomes to be a father. It takes a lot of work, incredible patience, tough love and a whole lotta faith.
Here’s to all the dads out there; the biological ones, the step dads, the fathers-in-laws, the future dads and the men who step in as a dad when one is needed! And here’s to all the children that grew up without a father figure in their life AND still made it.
Happy Father’s Day!
There really is no call to action for this post! But if you have a strained relationship with your father, this is a great time to make amends. If you are a father who is not in good terms with your children, make that phone call and make things right. Going through the pandemic this year, one thing that is certain is life is unpredictable. So don’t wait until it’s too late!
