I am trying to remember when was the last Father's Day I celebrated, and sometimes I don't want to know nor want want to count how many I have celebrated.
So many times we often focus on the role of a mother and how special our mothers are to us, after all they carried us for 9 months of their lives and never gave up carrying us.
In my age, I have learned to appreciate my mother as much as I can, since she is the only parent I have.
Unfortunately my father passed away when I was 15 and that was a tender age for me.
People always say, a girl will always look for her father in every guy she meets, since her father is the first man that sets the bar up high. It is true! Every guy that I have scanned that didn't meet my expectations (set up by my father) was never going to make it till the end of the week when I decided not to answer my phones.
One thing that hits really to the heart are memories. Memories of how much I loved my father regardless of his short commings and what a role he played in shaping the woman that I am today.
I often try to forget Father's Day, because it often jerks a tear or two, however I learned to remember the good things and to appreciate the existance of our fathers.
Saudi has never hit home, like it has hit home regarding fathers. When I look at my students. they always share stories about their fathers taking them anywhere they like, protecting them and being the head of the house.
I look at the situation back home and I realised that most families break down, because the role of the father and the mother has changed. Now a days women earn more than the men, the women takes care of the kids and still does her 8 hour job and still attend her roles. Sometimes, the men feel that they have lost that role of "importance" being shoved at the background of the family.
Now, I know some ladies might be thinking; On who's side are you? Well ,I am on nobody's side, I am just writing from my observations. I think that there is a great "power struggle" on roles regarding families. Now a days you even get "stay at home dads", which I think is a big NO NO!!
As much as women had to rise up and take on a fewer roles, because of some dudes that couldn't do a great job of it, it still doesn't mean the role of the dad is lost.
We as ladies and girls need to appreciate our husbands and fathers and boost them by showing them that they ARE the head of house, that we DO need their protection and need them to interfere when they feel the family is in danger. In today's society girls are craving that. Craving for a father's affection and someone to give guidance regarding life choices. The same with boys, boys need their fathers to learn how to keep a family together and to be a good leader of the house and at work.
So my short blog dedicates to all the fathers and I recognise the role they play. As women, daughters and mothers, we appreciate your guidance, love and attendance. Most of all we appreciate the tenderness of your love and always trying to fix everything for us. So girls love your fathers and fathers love your daughters! Believe me boys, you don't want to meet a girl with "daddy issues".
