*This is a repost of what I wrote a year ago – with revisions
Today is Father’s Day.
Here’s to the four fathers I know who have shown the world what fatherhood is about:
Papa: my father-in-law.
He has been the provider for everybody and has always been ready to help in everyway he can. He continues to teach me, by example, that nothing is impossible with hardwork and perseverance.
Daddy: my father.
He is the best father and I say that without bias
He is imperfect, but when it comes to his children – he is really one of a kind. He continues to teach me, by example, that nothing is impossible with faith.
Dad: Edil, my husband.
He does everything for his kids. We may not see eye to eye on so many different things. He may not be the ideal husband, but my kids are blooming and making progress because he balances my straight boring ways
He continues to teach me, by example, that nothing is impossible with love.
My God, Our Father.
When all else has failed me, when I have failed everything and everyone else, it is only He and He alone who has been there. all the time. If only we people can love others the way He loves us, there would be none of the never ending problems we face today.
Happy Father’s Day, Ama.
And I leave you with a quote that best describes the fathers I have known:
"My father didn’t tell me how to live; He lived and let me watch him do it."
