Respect to all responsible fathers out there
Mindset 038
Take care of your father
When you hear ''to be a man is not a day job", it was said with fathers in mind. By fathers I don't mean s***m donors. Anyone can donate s***m but fatherhood comes with responsibilities that transcends s***m donations. Little wonder most wonderful fathers are not necessarily the biological daddies.
Dearest , I understand that nearest is dearest hence mothers are so dear to our hearts. Mothers are constantly there for us notwithstanding their commitments. Really, the place of a mother in child's life can never be overemphasized.
Lovelies, ever wondered why most fathers were seemingly unavailable while we grew? I said seemingly because they were actually there but were too busy labouring for our needs more than they were to share our times and special moments. A true father shows his love, loyalty and commitment through provisions. Our dear fathers spend all their time toiling to satisfy the insatiable needs of the family yet not many appreciate them. Poor fathers!
Most of us are standing tall today because of the combined efforts of both parents. While fathers labored, our dear mothers put the outcome of those labors to good use. Why is our fathers not receiving the equal deserved love, appreciation and care as our mothers?.
Most of our hardworking fathers retire to loneliness because the family they labored for all their lives see and treat them as strangers or intruders. Many of them die premature due to lack of love and care and love from the ones they lived for.
Dearest, check on your father just as you do to mummy. Call just to hear his voice. Call just to reassure him of how much you value and appreciate all his sacrifices. Send your father good multivitamins and money. Stop making it look like all your father's labor is worth only a bottle of schnapp. Let daddy know he's loved just as you do to mummy. Stop waiting for his burial so you could tell the world how much of a hero he was while in actuality he died feeling he failed you. God bless all fathers.
