Strong fathers.
Soft hearted and emotionally aware fathers.
Fathers who drop their daughters at university at 5am, who pick up their daughters after exams with a bag full of snacks
Fathers who tell stories of their childhood and roots, so their children grow up knowing who they are and where they come from.
Fathers who build bookshelves, sit thru tv shows and make ordinary moments feel extra special,
Fathers who love and respect the mother of their children, who reject toxic ideas of masculinity, share the housework and mental load because building a home & raising a family is not only a woman's 'duty.'
Fathers who lead with kindness & stability instead of fear.
The fathers who show up and who embody what it means to be a dad.
The father who leaves behind a reputation built on kindness and integrity - his kids valuing this more than what he left behind for them .
May every child know the love of a father like this. If you have a father like this, hug him and cherish him
