To those men out there who do more than women.

To the men who care and share

To the men who spend sleepless night behind the computer and still make time to help with our homeworks

To the men who get broken everyday but still come home with an unwavering smile.

To the men who spend the nights with us in the hospitals, never leaving our bedside until the doctor says we're fine.

To those men who make time to listen to our silly stories and still laugh at our jokes.

To all those men... today I want you to know;

I have met men and men but you're not just a man, you're a father.l have heard women being celebrated, their resilience being admired, their efforts being rewarded...

But I've also met you, the one man whose scars made me a star, whose blood built my personality, whose breath gave me strength and hope to push on. I met you - daddy . I saw you break but you never complained, I saw your puffy eyes but never a tear, I saw your shoulders drop and your heard bowed down but never coming home without a gift.

Your strong arms around my shoulders taught me to be "FEARLESS"

Your soothing words even in the most difficult times taught me that all was "ACHIEVABLE"

Your tough yet loving reprimands taught me what is meant to be "TRUTHFUL"

Your nights spent awake just to provide us with food made me appreciate the value of "HARD WORK ".

Your precision and outstanding nature taught me to long for "EXCELLENCE".

Your ever present presence taught me to be "RELIABLE".

That was when I saw and I realized that you're not just a man, you're a 'FATHER'.

...To all those men out there whom we still call Daddy, your strength is unmatched, your resilience is impressive any your love still stands strong through it all.

Thank you for being the best you could ever be...HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO YOU ALL.

Gratitude
