The love of ‘Father’; not so expressive yet extremely deep, not so revealing yet immensely heartfelt, not much demonstrative yet the earnest, not that displaying yet the largely profound with unparalleled warmth, not flaunted yet deep – rooted . The first heroic image a kid captures in his or her mind is the stellar image of his or her father. The father for a kid is the supremely glorious person in the world, as nothing is impossible to conquer for him. He is the one who knows everything, he is the one who can overcome everything, he is the one who can get anything his kid asks for. A Father is someone in whom the selflessness can be seen in thoughts as well as in action. He always makes sure that the best of the best goes to his children much prior to he thinks of himself. The numerous hardships and struggles he faces in the everyday life and innumerablesacrifices he makes just to see the smiling faces of his children. He many times eats cold food in the tiffin box just to make sure that his kids get to eat fresh food. This deeply felt unconditional love and extreme care of a father for his children is something which can never be paid off by his kids in any manner. A fatherhood is the heavenly feeling, one would be experiencing in his life. It’s a happiness of being absolutely at the top of the world. It’s an inexpressive delight, ecstatic joy, indefinable bliss and the out of the world pleasure to become a father.

 

To see a newborn who is the mirror reflection of you and your second half, witnessing him or her growing up; the falling down while trying to walk for the first time, and you being a father supporting the one to get up and walk again, listening to the child’s unclear slurred words while he or she tries to speak for the first time. Getting delighted when a kid says ‘Papa’ for the very first time. You are blessed with one of the greatest pleasures in the world being a father, likewise the responsibility also arrives in parallel. The responsibility to raise a child with utmost love, care and nurture, responsibility to take care of his or her health diligently, to educate him or her well, to raise him or her with cultivation of ‘Sanskar’ and implantation of high standards of ethics and morality, to raise in the manner that he or she would become capable enough to face the world confidently, to give every possible effort to make him or her a good human being.

 

Working hard to buy all the stuff his kid needs, spending sleepless nights to take care during the illness of his children, spending uncountable hectic days just to give a better life and bright secured future to his kids, facing all the hardships and struggles in his day to day life without letting his children know, all the fatigue and tiredness of the entire day gets eliminated just after seeing the happy smiling faces of the children. He is a ‘FATHER’. Often looking strict from outside, but extremely loving, caring and nurturing deep inside. Even a little expression of unhappiness on your face becomes a huge cause of concern for him and your smiling face means a world of pleasure to him. The love of a father for his kids is something he can’t touch, but it touches him entirely. He is a true believer of your abilities. He puts his hard earned income to make your dream come true and lead you to your goals of success. A Father’s love, hopes and dreams are forever imprinted on the heart and soul of his kids. “World never seems as wonderful as it seems sitting on the shoulder of a FATHER.”
