If mothers are the backbone of a family, then fathers are the building blocks, the pillar of support and strength.

Apart from loving and guiding us, fathers give us a true sense of security. For most us he is also a role model, and a source of inspiration.



He strives to raise us as unique individuals; he provides us with the comforts of the world; he takes takes care of all our needs and fulfills all our wishes by toiling hard day and night. He understands all our desires without us even saying it.



Fathers are also our teachers who play a great role in defining the person who we truly are today, or what we will become tomorrow. Without a father’s guidance, achievements seems a distant dream for many people. He is that one person who does not neglect us, when we are burdened with life’s complexities. He is always there by our side to support us.



To honor fathers, Father’s Day is celebrated in different parts of the world on different days. People around the world make the day special for their fathers by showering them with love and gifts.



However, we should not just make him feel special one day in a year. A day in a year is not enough to thank our fathers for all what he has done for us. So, we should make an effort to love, honor and appreciate him from time to time.
