Father's Day — A Day not Celebrated as Mother's Day

‎There's a silent love that speaks loudly in the midst of noise. A love that doesn't shout to gain accolades: it strives to make sure that people smile even when they themselves are emotionally down. They carry out heavy responsibilities that people rarely notice and continue on and on till they leave a legacy that many times is not forgotten. This kind of love is embedded in fatherhood.
‎
‎
‎Just pause a while and think of the sacrifices of fatherhood. Fathers are often the last to go to bed and the first to wake up in the morning. Their wives become their priority while in bed after discharging the children to bed.

‎While others sleep, their mind is on unfinished work and the dreams of those who depend on them or their loved ones who rely on them. Every orning before the sun smiles out of the sky, they are already awake thinking of house rent, children's school fees, and how to put food on the table. These thoughts grow a spirit of unending sacrifice within them.

‎Sometimes they are worried, depressed at work, or face difficulty in one thing or the other, but they rarely allow family to notice. Their appearance to the family each day builds a sense of confidence in the children, wives, and relatives that all is well. ‎They keep on hoping that all will be well someday.
‎
‎
‎Every profession, career, or engagement narrates the story of a father distinctively and uniquely. ‎The lecturer sits back at night to prepare lessons to lecture students, mark endless scripts during exams, and proffer better strategies to pass on lessons for better understanding. Their eyes gradually grow weary while they make sure that their students are better.

A teacher stands before the students and pupils for hours to impact all that is in their memories, hoping their students become academically sound. A farmer, on the other hand, is not tired of tilling the soil under the hot sun. Their sweat becomes the price they willingly pay to put food on the family's table. They ensure that pests do not destroy the farmers' work. Their goal is not self-comfort but the well-being of their family.

‎How about fishermen? They risk their own lives every day for family, staying inside the sea for hours and sometimes deep in the night to catch fish.
‎Unfortunately, sometimes these fishes are not always available, but they are strong enough to return to the sea the next day.

‎The soldiers are another group of fathers that work not just for immediate family but for other families, protecting lives and properties. The doctors tarry almost every night and many times cheat themselves of food just to save lives. The businessmen, the carpenters, the travelers, the engineers: each carries the burden of the family every day to the work field, yet the reward is often not worth the efforts.
‎
‎Beyond the stress of work, fathers still return home and still have to smile at the excited children and wives. Their ears are always inclined to the story each child has to tell even if it's boring. Why? His heart is that everyone should smile and be joyful always.
‎He has no rest until he fixes disagreements and makes corrections, eats with the family, and does assignments for the children.
‎
‎Fathers are so selfless in many cases.
They kill their dreams to make their children's dreams come alive; they'd rather have one cloth but make sure the children and wife have as many as they wish. They sacrifice their food when there is little food available. Their children's school fees, uniform maintenance, and wife's happiness become their priority.
‎Open their daily objectives, and you will discover their aim every day is family happiness.
‎
‎
‎Fathers' sacrifices are always carried out in silence; they don't seek applause, they are not noisy, and sometimes the world doesn't celebrate their victories

‎They keep on going even when they are tired. Their burdens are always heavier than they are, but they only complain to themselves and resolve it as well.
‎The Choose responsibilities over self-satisfaction.
‎They are always willing to stand and fight even when the battle needs helping hands. Their confidence is always embedded in the phrase "It is well."
‎Fathers are not just breadwinners but pillars and anchors upon which houses and ships stand firm.
