The Unsung Heroes
When it comes to the words like concern, attachment, love or compassion, we mostly associate them with mothers. Since fathers are meant to be strong, cold, strict and disciplined being the pillars of the family. We tell our moms ‘don’t tell this to dad’ because we are not sure how dads would react. What we mostly miss is the fear behind strength, attachment behind the coldness, preparedness behind discipline and molding (their children) behind strictness. Yes fathers have all those emotions that mothers express. They have all those feelings that mothers feel, all the concern that mothers show. The only difference is they live two lives for the sake of their children. They carry all the emotions and hide them all too.
Fathers prepare us for life, they are like those ‘coaches’ who stand outside the field and watch you play the game of life. They don’t come and save you, they build the strength so that you can save yourself. They watch every move of yours, every word, said and unsaid. They don’t give their shoulder to cry on, but they prepare you so you can wipe your own tears and rise again. They don’t console you when things don’t go your way, but they scold you so you’re ready when the world screams at you. A mother carries her child for nine months and her only concern is that her child stays well. A father is concerned for all those nine months not only for the child but for the mother as well since she carries his child. A father is the silent spectator who watches his child imbibing all the qualities he desires them to.
He does not seek any validation for being the way he is, he doesn’t care if you like him or not because he intends to make you ready for the world. Unlike mothers who care so much about what you like or what you don’t like, fathers are concerned with what is right and what is good for you and with that ambition in mind they carve a path that is strict yet leads to success, that gives short-term pains so that you may reap long-term gains. Fathers are those ‘Unsung Heroes’ of our lives whose only ambition is to make his children’s life easy and comfortable. The silent spectator who is the happiest when you succeed and the most hurt when you don’t. He bears all the pain of of his child with a raised eyebrow, a cold face and a heart overflowing with love. Daddys are indeed the Dearest! Happy Father’s Day to all the Fathers who never say “I love you” but no one can love you as much as they do and the way they do. We love you too, much more than we say! Thank you for being You. Let’s give them a big round of applause for all that they carry in their hearts that we would never understand. Happy Father’s Day!!
Great. Absolutely true.
