FATHER’S DAY: THE PILLAR WITHSTANDING EVERY STORM
Every home needs a strong pillar in order to stand. But, not every pillar is concrete. Mostly, they are breathing. They are living. They work in order for the whole family to live. They serve as the support and protection. Who are they? The man of the family; Adam. The head; the father.
Nine months of working hard in
order to sustain the life of a woman carrying the future in her womb. Eighteen
years of service or more just to raise a successful person. A man with
unconditional love same as a woman raises a child. He may not be as expressive
as the woman but his love and care are as equal as to the woman. He goes out every day, enduring the heat of the sun. He is out there sitting in front
of a desk full of papers he cannot leave. He is out there trying every work
just to earn money to maintain the foundation they built together with the
woman. There are also fathers who are single parents and are taking both the
responsibilities of being the caretaker and the breadwinner of the family. And of
course, foster fathers. They may not be biological but still do what they can
to take care, love, and sustain the family. Every father, even with different
faces, deserves recognition. They may not be the best, but they were still
trying to do what they need to do in order to become favorable.
The celebration of father’s day
is just proof that fathers are special and must be recognized. Although there
are many faces of a father, they cannot be changed. They are our strength, for they are strong to be the “haligi ng tahanan”. They are our shield, since they can withstand
every storm. The first man who carried us and cried with joy. The first man who
loved and still loves us. Our precious. Our treasures. Our Fathers.
