A Father's Role and Influence
A father is someone who wants to catch you before you fall but instead picks you up, brushes you off, and lets you try again. A father is someone who wants to keep you from making mistakes but instead lets you find your own way, even though his heart breaks in silence when you get hurt. A father is someone who holds you when you cry, scolds you when you break the rules, shines with pride when you succeed, and has faith in you even when you fail.
It is a wise father that knows his own child. Becoming a father is easy enough, but being one can be very rough. A father's words are like a thermostat that sets the temperature in the house. That is the thankless position of the father in the family—the provider for all, and the enemy of all. Finally, that's what the father is.
Have a happy Father's Day.
