The Role Of A Father In A Girl’s Life
“Your mother would be proud of you to see you now.”
This is the sentence my dad speaks to me for the last ten years and because of which I’m always on the verge of tears. My mother hasn’t been with us for a long time, but I know she is looking at us from above and sometimes smiles to the two of us; to my father who “stuck” with me.
I’m glad that she is proud of me, but the most significant success in my life is that MY FATHER is proud of everything we’ve done. And it was difficult, challenging. People think that things become easier with years, but that’s a mistake. Every year is harder than the last one. When I graduated, my mother wasn’t there. When I got engaged, she still wasn’t there. And she won’t be there for the most important day in my life.
In all the happy and sad moments there was always one person who stood by my side: MY FATHER.
The role of a father in a girl’s life, especially if it’s a girl who has no mother, is indescribable.
He gives an example of how a man needs to behave in a family, and he is a model of what kind of a family the girl wants.
And I’m always going to be a little girl to my dad, who just don’t know everything and who calls him when she has a problem with something.
He combed my hair, put on my clothes, and chose dresses for school plays. He took me by the hand and led me to school. He followed all my steps. When he got back from work, he would go to the bakery to buy my favorite donut and then put them secretly on my desk. Though he was tired, he would sit next to my bed and read me stories. He helped me solve my math tasks and asked me if I had any problems.
Time passed quickly, and I became a big girl, but my dad didn’t change.
He started asking questions about guys and gave me tips how to behave.
One of the happiest days in my life was when I saw my dad and my fiancé sitting in the living room watching a football match. I was pleased because they were both happy and I know they are so happy because of me.
I know that the most terrible day in my father’s life will be when I will leave him, although I’m going to be happy with a beloved man, I know that part of his heart will be broken.
And my heart will be broken.
Dad, thank you for everything you did for me!
I want you to know that you will always be my HERO. You’re much more than a dad. You are my best friend, support, and reliance. You are my teacher of life.
When it was needed, you were a doctor. You were a firefighter and a cop. You had a million roles in my life, and you’ve been AWESOME in all of them.
I want you to know that I will tell the whole world how great you are.
The role of a father in a girl’s life is enormous and if I get lucky, my future husband will behave the same to our child as you did to me.
You filled your mission.
