Parenthood

We celebrate Mother’s Day is on the 2nd Sunday in May and Father’s Day on the 3rd Sunday in June.

A mother is our best friend and the most favorite person in our entire lives. She possesses the milk of human kindness. Her love is unconditional and she is simply a precious gift to us all.

MOM is very special because nobody can be compared to her. She works hard just to make your life easier. A mother is a woman with strong willpower who always teaches you how to face all difficulties and problems in life. She always sacrifices herself in a bid to ensure your happiness. She always motivates you to achieve your goals and to never give up whatever happens. A mom shares her heart-warming affection amongst all of her children without favoritism. Love her for she gave birth to you and raised you. Your mom wants nothing from you other than your love and respect, so the best way to show her your gratitude is to visit or call her every day. It is mentioned in the Bible that you must honour your mother, but not only on Mother’s Day which is just one day of the year. Our responsibility is to respect and love our mothers every day of our entire lives because that’s our humble duty.

There are a lot of qualities required to be a good father, but two main points are love and respect. A good father must make his children feel loved, cherished, happy and safe all the time. Children need this kind of safe environment, as it benefits and keeps them mentally strong and stable in everyday life. Showing love and respect to your children is extremely important and this should be the main goal of any good father.

A good father must also be very disciplined with his children. If kids have done something wrong a good father must take some type of action and not tolerate bad behavior. Good dads must be fair in everything because we are role-models for our children and they like to copy or imitate our daily actions. I know there are a lot of problems and responsibilities in a dad's life, but we must overcome them and find time for our children to make them feel happy and loved.

On top of everything, to be a daddy is the best thing that can happen in one’s life. Every day I thank God for my two wonderful kids. I am so proud and lucky to be a happy dad. I will face all the problems and difficulties that will arise in my life as a father because my reasons for living are my children.
