This weekend is Father’s Day, so I would like to say a Father means more then just being a Father figure of the family.
It also means :
1. Each Father has a responsibility to looking after the well-being of his family, loving his children and hopefully teaching them to become responsible adults, where they too, show carrying love towards their children.
2. The Father shares the responsibility with his loving wife or partner, working hard throughout their lives, ensuring their children receive unconditional love ❤️, warm shelter, food, the right education, clothing and protection from harms way.
3. A Father’s responsibility doesn’t end when his children grow up but continues giving advice towards the well being of his children, helping them out as much as he possibly can. The only difference, it’s up to the kids to make their own judgment, striving towards a responsible adult. At first your kids don’t understand your advice, but later on (with life experiences) come to you and say,” Now I understand what you were trying to say Dad.”
4. A Father is a Dad. A Dad is one that will teach you new beginnings, such as riding your first bike or tying your shoes. He will also take you on a journey, exploring what the earth has to offer, from hiking to the top of a mountain to camping ⛺️ within our amazing provincial parks.
5. A Dad will show you how important education really is, by introducing you to the science pavilions across Canada 🇨🇦 , or where he may reside. He may help you discover a new science experiment or take you gold panning, learning the science of geology.
6. A DAD is a loving DAD who cares for his children and wife or partner.
7. A LOVING DAD hopes his children take the right path in the future, to look after themselves and their new family.
8. A LOVING DAD sometimes will bite his tongue, knowing you may have made some wrong choices, but realizes you will figure out in the end, either by your own experiences or life’s roadblocks.
A loving father will always love his family. Life is a journey filled with twists and turns, and mistakes are inevitable. But what truly matters is family. A loving father will teach you that family is everything. Without trust, love, and forgiveness,you’ve lost everything.
If your parents raised you right, you’ll know when it’s time to step up and support them. It’s a natural part of the cycle of life.
I hope I’ve been a good father, guiding my children toward a path of kindness and compassion. I expect nothing in return,only that they respect who I am and understand my unwavering love for them.
As I approach retirement, my wife and I plan to savor the fruits of our labor and watch our grandchildren grow into responsible adults. I wish nothing but happiness and success for my children and their partners as they embark on their own journeys.
With all my love, Dad
