The knight in shining armor

A man with a tough exterior and with the most tender heart is the best definition for the man who stands by us no matter how intimidating or bad the situation may be.  A daughter will always remain as his little princess despite the transformation of a girl to a woman while a Son will be his partner in crime to cause some fun and action in the family. He ensures that only laughter resonates in the family and pushes the problems and misery out of the window. Brings a cup of coffee and sits with a paper in hand while thinking how to solve those problems without the slightest hint of confusion or stress. A wife is usually the closest friend who he can talk everything but most of the time she becomes a child in his heart as well and prefers to put a smile rather than live with the guilt of diminishing the smile even for a second.

 

When it comes to a daughter she’s the precious diamond or his irreplaceable gem. When she dresses up in those cute dresses he will never stop admiring her and wishes that she doesn’t grow up. Her desires are fulfilled even though it may cause a fortune. He will always have this protective barrier around his princess and ensures her tears are wiped. Her achievements are his pride and her failures will be his time to be a motivator or teacher. Holding her hands at all-time till he hesitates to give it to the man who is ready to take place as her husband. Unavoidable tears will be masked with the joy of seeing his daughter taking place as someone’s wife and he reminds himself that she will always be his little girl. He blesses her with all of life’s happiness and vows to be a part of it till the end of life.

A son is his part two and he trains him to man up from an early stage. Sometimes it might seem a little rough but once the son turns to an adult I’m sure he’ll be thankful for his father’s involvement during his entire childhood and teen phase because those are the most crucial stage to mold one. He ensures his son is wise, skilled in protecting and most importantly a gentleman where he knows how to treat his lady like how he treats his mother. A father will love his son in the most discreet way till the son will sometimes feel its utmost negligence but actually, he cares a whole lot but does not express it. His simple actions like silently placing your favorite treat on the table, checking on you once you have gone to bed, give you the freedom to have a late night out with trust that you will stay safe and so on proves his love and care.

He loves his family too much till he sacrifices his time to work hard and provide the best. He doesn’t mind staying away from the family and become the sole breadwinner. It tears him apart to be away from family but when it’s the best available option he doesn’t mind to claim it and man up to it. As children sometimes we blame the less time spent with him without realizing the comfort and needs he has provided. He teaches us to walk in difficult roads when the time comes and sometimes by just being a spectator we will easily realize what hardship is. His kisses and hugs are memorable and when he does the kitchen it’s something interesting too where a pool party may form when doing the dishes. Most importantly he loves to include all to join in the fun of painting or any other amendments or repairs around the home.

A father’s definition of love is different. If it’s mom it’s love at first sight and if it’s dad it’s love at first cry. He does not shower us with the frequent hugs and kisses like how mom does but when the moment we break down it’ll be the saddest thing in life to him and does not rest till a smile is formed on our face. When we take our first steps, he will be there to catch us and carry us to make us feel better. However, when we start to grow out of his hand he will carry us in his heart and will be our hero always and forever. We rarely see him breakdown because it’s his duty to be the pillar of strength making him forget he too is a normal human. That is where we have to kindly remind him that he deserves to have some time for himself and be loved unconditionally not only on special occasions but on a daily basis.

It’s always hard for him to leave the world and when he seems to be helpless when we cry he feels extremely down. That is the time we must cherish the good old times and thank him for everything he has provided so that the soul will be happy in heaven. He will always be watching us from above and no one can change that. Let’s gift our fathers the love and happiness he deserves and also remind him that he is an amazing person beyond words regardless of his absence and presence every day!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TO ALL FATHERS OUT THERE!
