Being a father

Being a father is not a joke. It is tough and exciting at the same time. A father not only nurtures his child but also sees his own image in him. Anyone can produce babies but the real challenge is in upbringing the children in the best possible way. Upbringing not only means telling the child what is right or wrong morally but giving freedom to the child to think beyond the set norms. A father is the one who guides his child to understand the reality of life. A father is like a teacher who has the capability to teach his child the most amazing things. He has the potential to encourage his child to find the meaning of his existence. A father sometimes becomes a friend to provide comfort and give a helping hand to his child in tough times. He is the ultimate source of love and affection for his children, a shadow which remains with his kids every minute and a guiding light which is always bright.

A father gives unconditional love to his child and keeps him safe. The love of a father is something which is precious for the child. Fortunate are those who have loving, caring and compassionate fathers with them. Life becomes beautiful with the existence of a father. He is the one who fills our world with vibrant colors and makes life a satisfying journey. 

He is the one who accepts our faults and shows the right way to us. A father is also a mentor who trains his child to face all the odds of life and become a winner. He finds true joy when he sees his kids smiling. Their smile gives him every pleasure of life.

He appreciates his child on his victory and never underestimates the importance of loosing. A father tells his child that it is absolutely fine not to be a winner every time. Loosing is an opportunity to learn from our mistakes and put more efforts next time. He also makes his child understand that loosing has nothing to do with failing or feeling less of oneself. Loosing for others happiness is more important than winning which gives lifelong satisfaction.

A father can sacrifice his own happiness for his child but can never see his child in pain. He would do all the things for his child to be pain free and won’t let tears come in his child’s eyes.

Came from God; I called him Dad”
