I think, Father's Day can be every day. It is a bit naive to have a day dedicated to celebrate the bond, when you can celebrate it whenever you want. But on the other hand, this day reinforces us the importance of having a 'role-model' in our lives and relive the memories we have with our Fathers', even for a single day, if it has to be that way.
Keeping all things same, more than anything else, I will strive hard to develop an environment where my kids can express anything & everything under the sun without any guilt, suspicion and fear, which I presume, majority of our present generation didn't had that liberty.
No matter what happens, at the end of the day they can always come back to me. That, life is eventually going to kill you but what really matters are the moments that will take your breath away. And, whenever they feel tired and defeated with no hope left, I hope that they look at their 'father' and start over again. For the moment, I aspire to teach these thoughts to my kids.
The relationship and chemistry a father has with his kids is ever evolving, every generation. On the eve of Father's Day, we can remember how different it was for us and realize the ability each one of has to keep this relationship evolving and making it further better for the coming generations.
Not simply today, but every single day. A chance to make things better.
Happy Father's Day 😊
