This is what the best father in the world does and my father also does the same. He believes in me and continues to do so even at times when I begin to doubt my own capabilities. He keeps  believing  in me and in my decisions for my life. Yesterday I was reading about different celebrities writing on twitter about their father, and different people and my friends putting up throwback pictures on their profiles, each one saying, ‘My father is the best father in this world’. Yes, HE is, there is no doubt about this statement and claim, not because there is some competition amongst fathers but because each father does the best for his kids, more than his capabilities. He keeps stretching himself just to see his kids with the best of everything in the world. I salute every father in this world because he is embodiment of God, he is our saviour and protector.

We have not often praised him as we praise our mother. But the truth is we all know earth and sky together make life and hence both are important – if our mother is the earth, believe me our father is the sky who protects us and provides for us. Without sky there wouldn’t have been the sunshine and rain which the earth requires to sustain and bring forth life. God is amazing, he divided himself between the two most important creations and HIS re-incarnations on this earth –mother and father.

Father is someone who just delegates the emotional part to mother and he himself keep working day and night for us (though in modern world the equation has changed a bit).  We think he is not spending time with us as often as he should, forgetting that he must have his own interest, hobbies, and friends. But he sacrifices everything for his kids.

With lots of respect for my father and for every father on this planet!!! You are the best and my inspiration always – every kid says that, me too!!!

Cheers

( This post excludes the exceptions – fathers who never care for their kids, wives, and parents. My heart goes out for these kids who have such fathers)
