From plaiting our hair and carrying us on our shoulders as kids, to picking us up from parties as a teen and giving advice on cars and bills as adults, dads do a lot for us, and deserve to be treated and Father’s Day is the perfect time to do just that.
Father's Day is a day when people honor the men in their lives. It is a day for children to express gratitude to their fathers and father figures. For adults, it is a day to express how much they love and appreciate their fathers and husbands. Although many of us celebrate Father's Day, we may be unaware of its origins. Surprisingly, this holiday was not widely celebrated at first. People eventually accepted the idea of fathers' influence on their families, particularly on their children's lives.
The celebration of Father’s Day reminds us about both the importance and the challenges of fatherhood. Fathers don’t always enjoy the glow of intimacy and admiration we give our mothers. Indeed, fathers have the cultural image of bread winner, disciplinarian, authority figure. When you were growing up, how often did you hear your mother say, “just wait until your father gets home!” Traditionally, our culture has often put fathers into a very difficult role. They must be aloof but intimate; must earn the wage, but be present; must be compassionate, but disciplinarian.
I salute all the wonderful fathers who have touched the lives of many people, be it their own kids, somebody else’s kid, family, people they have mentored, people they have coached and the world at large.
Thank you for being great fathers. We appreciate your existence and the impactful and significant role you have played in our lives.
Father is a person who lets you experiment life in your own way and pulls you up when you fall.
He lets you get angry on him and loves you more after that.
He lets you see things your own way and then gives his view point.
Is with you always, especially when you need him.
Let’s honour the dads who give everything to their families.
We can’t be in this world without our fathers. They have always been that one reliable man in our lives, and they have always treated us with a stern yet loving hand. We have always looked up to them as an inspiration through the years. We will never cease to follow their footsteps and will always make the right decision like they have taught us.
No matter how famous or successful we are, our first identity is that of someone’s son or daughter.
I believe that what we become depends on what our fathers teach us at odd moments, when they aren’t trying to teach us. We are formed by little scraps of wisdom.
Our understanding of what “family” means also is evolving. Some of us have had the pleasure of being a godfather or “father figure” to younger family members who may have lost their biological father. Many children grow up in single parent homes with only a father or a mother. We have learned that it’s the love, care and presence that define fatherhood.
