Best Dad - are we ?
Not yet - Dad's role never ends
This father's day, our loving angel Sara presented me this, with some lovely quotes, that expressed her gratitude. The boy greeted me in the morning with a hug, but Sara came up with this special greetings, that she must have made in the night. It was a very busy day, as we were preparing for the Mocktail stall and the fridge brought a setback. And this special hand crafted token of gift, meant a lot for me to do more for the kids.
Every child is different, and daughters are special, which I am understanding slowly, because we did not have a sister, and it was all man affair at home, in our childhood. It was very well said by @milaan in my last post
To be honest, for a father, it's the daughter that brings that completeness and the same goes for son for a mother. And the daughters always find a sense of security with a father.
Before Sara was borne, my wife would ask me everyday, tell me, if its a boy or girl because she wanted a girl, and I was thinking, possibly it could be a boy because of hereditary. But finally I would say, may God grant your wish, because we need a girl for a complete family. And somewhere in my heart, I was feeling, a girl is coming, so I had a name reserved, which is an interesting story. Long story short - the name comes from Sarah Connor from the Terminator movie - my first English movie and life time favorite. I always wished to use the name, and when she was born, the doctor who brought her, gave her full name, based on our son's name, because he loved our son (and attached to our family) so much. So I gave this nick name, but again, everyone in our family complained that Sarah sounds like a Christian name, so we made it Sara.....though it still sounds the same. What I really wished that, Sara should grow up tough, like Sarah Connor, which she is justifying the name.
She is very compassionate but at the same time she is very straight forward like me, which at times creates trouble for her. She is excellent in studies, but at times, her teachers complain saying, she tells their weakness upfront, which makes them feel bad. And she would ask exactly what she wants - very few can do this, even though, it may sound odd or bad to others. As a father, I can totally relate to this because of my same nature, which creates trouble at times. And you have to choose between the trouble and self satisfaction, which is a very tough job. Making a fine balance is the best thing to happen, but doing that is not easy and that is what we have been trying to educate her. She is just 13, and I have decided to fully devote on her now, and spend more time with her, as the the boy is now responsible and mostly self driven (though I have to take care of the finance and well beings). Whatever we teach them now, will stay with them for their life, remembering us, even though we might not be there. And once they are grown up and responsible, their insight will help our life, that is how we should grow as a family.
A father's role never ends till he is alive, isn't it ?

A daughter has the power to make her dad emotional at any moment of life. With little gifts or surprises or any achievement. The queen of papa hearts ....
So true.

It only grows down the line. And here, the love of a father is append-only........and in your old age when you recollect these memories you will go nostalgic.
And Sara greeted up with tender emotions.....I must appreciate that she writes beautifully at the age of 13.
The emotional connections in a family make it a Sweet Home and family bonding is that intangible aspect of our society. And FATHER-DAUGTHER love is a loving epoch of this journey in perpetuity.
Thank you.
Jai Jagannath.

Awwwnn, that's so nice of her. I know you felt awe when you saw the piece of art especially as you didn't expect it from her.
Yes...it felt special.
Good to know.
I think she can go far with this talent if she decides to horn her skills. If she can sketch and paint this at this stage, there is no limit for her!
I will pass this to her, and inspire her to focus on this gift.
Girls child are adorable, and I do believe that you need a girl child to make a complete family. Closeness to a girl child is also very important, especially since they're nearing teenage and need more care and attentions. It's a beautiful drawing, I guess not all superheroes wears cape.
The close relationship you have with your daughter, Sara, is endearing. Your words reveal your commitment and affection. A father's influence truly has no bounds; every moment he spends with his family shapes the future.
Thank you so much for the inspiring words.

Aww
Girls are lovely and I love my gender😁😁
Sara is really kind to have presented you that letter and the drawing
It’s such a good one
Kudos to her!
Our responsibility as parents never ends, even when they have children we continue to support them and educate their children. Those gifts are beautiful because they were made by them. I can imagine how happy the fathers' day started for you. Nice post. Delighted, my regards.🤗
GIRLs are the LAXMI of the family.
I love the drawing and the writing for a Dad. Wonderful atmosphere in the family when a daughter writes a letter for Dad on Father's Day.
Belated Happy Father's Day. God bless you and your daughter.
Thank you so much.
Father's day is said to be a daughter's best day. Daughter's are usually more attached to their father's and so as i and i too can understand the heartfelt feelings of your sweet daughter. Her presentation reminds me about the past years when i too which a child and use to gift a card to my father on evey occasion.! I loved the card designed by your daughter. Father is the real and the only hero for his daughter!!
Thank you so much.
Great name!! :)
yes.. daughters are so special. Mine is all grown up.. at least, that is, she is working and out of the house already, so I am sure she can stand on her own. U are obviously the most greatest dad to her and to ur son. that's AWESOME! :)
I will have to put few more years to get her to this stage.
😉😊✌️
Beyond reasonable doubt, daughters are very passionate and homely🦗💐 I must confess, that was very thoughtful of Sara to had presented such a heartfelt token.🙏
We have one of the best dad in the world and which our society really need to appreciate and gives value to actually
That is very sweet. It's awesome that your children appreciate you a lot and your daughter even made a lot of effort for her greeting. I think it's pretty cool that she was named after Sarah Conner, who is a great role model for women.
The role of parents is never-ending. When children are young we have them under our protective wings to teach them, protect them, and love them and when they grow up and we let them spread their own wings we are there to support them when they need us.
It is so beautiful the gift your daughter Sara gave you. The bond between father and daughter can be so special. I was very close to my father and I miss him every day.
I am slowly discovering this.
Most of the time, we don't really pay attention to the dad support in our families and we did not appreciate them
It was nice reading Sara's letter to Dad. Actually daughter's have a soft corner for Dad. Wiish all daughters are like that. Very true, you should devote more time for her. Only then she will be have the courage to tell what is going around her. Infact, she will become more bold. Terminator was one of my favorite too. I think we have 3 parts in it.
Congrats on getting such praise from your daughter, you're surely doing something right! Keep up the good work
Having followed you for a while now I know just how much family means to you. Being a father who spends quality time with their children is all too often not the deal. As a dad, who wouldn't want you in their corner, giving them the latitude necessary for becoming a responsible adult while guiding them with a gentle hand and wisdom. Our last child of four was a girl and I love them all equally, but there is something special about the relationship between a father and his daughter.
Yes, its quite different.
