“No other love in the world is like the love of a father has for his little girl.” -by unknown.
The relationship between a father and his daughter is intricately entwined together, it is often said that a man’s second love will be his daughter, for when you hold a living, breathing, being in your arms, knowing that you had played a part in its creation, it fills one with utmost joy and love.
I know for a fact that although each parent expresses their love, as twisted as some may be, through different means, it is often that they are doing those actions on behalf of us. Especially when you are their first child (for I am one), always remember that our parents themselves are going through a whole new experience along with you, thus sometimes just knowing that fact and, most importantly, having empathy to understand that, can go a long way on this journey that the both of you are going through. Personally, I have realized that spending quality time, whether It may be having a heart-to-heart talk with my own father, or just sitting together in tranquil silence, can be almost therapeutic.
What makes someone a father? The person that you choose to be your father does not have to be your biological one, for a father can be the person that sticks by your side no matter what; he trusts you and you can always count on him to be on your side (bonus would be making silly dad jokes).
Ultimately, who you choose to call ‘father’ is entirely up to you.
Happy Father’s Day!
