Happy Fathers’ Day!
As I see many posts of gratitude and praise on Fathers’ Day I’m glad that the fathers get recognized at least once a year.
But I do wanna highlight that this day is not about people who became biological fathers and people who are referred as Dads.
There are many Men who cared for the destitute children and fostered them like their own. They are fathers too!
There are uncles who took care of their nieces and nephews like their own children. They are fathers too!
There are elder brothers who shouldered the family burden in educating the siblings and getting them married. They are fathers too!
There are single mothers who raised their children and gave them a bright future and the children have said “My mother never let us miss our father”. They are fathers too!
There are elder sisters who delayed their own marriage and spent all their earnings and savings to educate their younger siblings. They are fathers too!
Fatherhood is not a profile assigned to men who become biological parents.
Fatherhood is a POSITION!
Fatherhood is a PURPOSE!
Fatherhood is a PRIVILEGE!
With Love,
