Father's Day

Hello Friends
Next week is Father's Day. A father is a very important figure in a person's life. A loving father can be a role model for his child. Many children specially girls grow up in their fathers footsteps. There is a saying that sons love their mothers and daughters love their fathers. I dont believe it.
A father is the head of the family.He is responsible for his family. He has to earn for his family, take care of them etc. In most families where the income is less the mother also join in to earn . Parents work hard so that their children can live a happy life, educate them so they can get a good job.When they grow old they expect that these children will take of them but nowadays children have no time to take care of them. Often they are left in old age homes with no one to love them.
They just spend their old age wishing that their children were different.
I was lucky to have a loving father. He saw that I got a good education, was strict when neccesary. Sadly today he is no more. I miss him. A child suffers a lot if his father is irresponsible. Many men leave the mother to take care of the children.
It is mostly seen that sons imitate their fathers in their life. A father who is alcoholic should be careful that he is not a bad example to his children. When parents are seperated the child misses the love of the parent. Sometimes he grows up hating that parent. In adult life he or she looks for a father figure as they have lacked that love. It is sad that many marriages break up due to the actions of the partners.
I salute all the fathers out there on this day. Be a good influence on your child.
