It is sad that the euphoria that characterises Mothers’ Day isn’t the same as Fathers’ Day. We hardly hear about this all-important day until a day or two before the occasion. However, it won’t deter me from writing this to appreciate the fathers in my life, thus far.
There is just no way that I could ever repay you for everything that you did for me as I was growing up. And those were just the normal, bothersome things I did. I sincerely appreciate all the effort you put into raising me.
Indeed, without you, I wouldn’t be the person I am now. Fathers’ Day publicity is not like Mothers’ Day. Though, the importance of fathers cannot be understated. This time of year, around such occasion, everyone attempts to convince themselves that they have the best dad in the world.
It is all good but it shouldn’t be the usual lip service that doesn’t create an everlasting memory in the mind of our fathers. Fathers deserve messages that adequately acknowledge the significant roles they fulfill in our lives.
Let me start by applauding all fathers across the globe, particularly those in Ghana for their unwavering support, dedication and never-ending desire to see us succeed.
Appreciation
I appreciate you always for being there for us with the support and love we needed. Undoubtedly, we are fortunate to have fathers like you because everything you taught us has stayed with us. Fathers will always be in vogue. You are the only father we have, and you will always have a special place in our hearts.
Not only are you our father, but you’re also one of our best friends. Fathers, you are our role models and our hero. We appreciate you for supporting us and setting good examples for us. We will always love you!
Even though Fathers’ Day only occurs once a year, we hope you realise how appreciative we are and how happy our hearts are to have you as our father today and every day. Happy Fathers’ Day from your favourite children! Given all the grey hairs we’ve given you, it’s the least we can do.
We wish you a day that is full of health, joy, and tranquility. Nobody can compare to you. Happy Fathers’ Day to all the fathers who are understanding, caring, committed, diligent, hardworking, kind, and humorous. We appreciate all the love you show us.
Your firm is valued and unique. You are our best buddy, our superhero, and our problem solver.
Present
God gave us the best present we’ve ever received. You have our sincere gratitude. You’ve blessed us with a happy existence that is brimming with affection. You’ve taught us some excellent moral principles. Some of us now have a solid foundation on which to build our social standing, thanks to you. Without you, we could not be this good.
In society, you are just another man, but to us, you are a superhero. You’ve viewed yourself in several positions over the years, including as an adventurous man, a kind-hearted man, a fantastic storyteller, a great singer, a dancer, a decent cook, a good money manager, and many more. Fathers deserve every ounce of celebration.
To my wonderful fathers, who taught me the rules of the game of life. To every father figure who have supported me unconditionally and helped me discover happiness throughout life, I appreciate it so much.
Fatherhood
Fatherhood is an extraordinary journey, one that comes with its own set of challenges and joys, and you have embraced it with unwavering commitment and love. You are the pillar of strength, the guiding light, and the unwavering support in our lives.
Your presence brings stability and security, and your words of wisdom have shaped us into the individuals we are today. Through your actions and sacrifices, you have taught us the values of hard work, perseverance, and integrity.
Your love knows no bounds. You have taught us the importance of responsibility, discipline, and compassion. Your dedication to your family and your relentless efforts to provide us with a better life inspire us to strive for greatness. You have shown us what it means to be selfless, to put others before oneself, and to make sacrifices for the ones you love.
Thanks to fathers for being our role models, our mentors, and our biggest cheerleaders. Today, we honour you and express our deep gratitude for the incredible fathers that you are. May all fathers continue to dwell in the habitat of God’s blessings.
