Father's Day

Father’s Day

Today is June 15^th. Father’s Day. Happy Father’s Day- to all fathers around the world.

I have seen children celebrating Mother’s Day in a grand manner. A few of them celebrate Father’s Day. Why is this difference? Mostly fathers are engaged with their work -outside as their area of work is larger, being in the midst of office, home, children, bank, life, insurance etc. they forget their birthdays.

 Father is the Super-Hero in a family. He has the biggest and loudest laugh that teaches his children to laugh through his tears and fears and the world will be a better place to live in. In parenting, his warmth, security, kindness, forgiveness, hope and eternal love make him strongest in the sight of children.

 When children watch their mother, they wonder where she gets her strength. It’s from father! He has that smile which cannot be replaceable on the whole earth. He forgets the mistakes and failures of grown-up children, stays cool and offers his children the strength to stand alone and face today’s challenges on their own. He is the special father. He is child’s real-life hero!

 Of course, from centuries, men are defined by their jobs. But in modern millennium, their roles they play as husbands and fathers are also becoming prominent. A father is guiding light whose love shows children their way. Someone rightly said, “A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society”.
