unconditional love

A Father’s Love

A father is every girl’s first love and every boy’s first best friend. He was there crying tears of joy the moment you were born. He was there looking at your face when you open your eyes for the first time. He was there watching you sleep. He was by your side ready to catch you in case you stumble while you were taking your first baby steps. He was there on your first day of school telling you that your classmates will become your new friends and that you will get a star for being a smart kid.

He is there to teach you and tease you and laugh with you. He is there constantly reminding you to take care of yourself, bring an umbrella, pray before you leave the house and not to go home late. He is always ready with that look in his face if you did something wrong. He gets angry and strict at times but he cares for you – a lot. He doesn’t talk too much but he is there to listen. He is there watching you as you walk your graduation march and feels so proud of how you have grown up right before his eyes. He is there to approve, disapprove, accept and forgive.

He is there to witness how you make your dreams come true. He is like a wall you can depend on when you feel like falling. He is there no matter how stupid your decisions are, no matter how stubborn you get and even if you have hurt or disappointed him a hundred times. He is there to welcome you home after you decided to leave. He is there to walk you down the aisle. He is there to remind your future husband to love you unconditionally – same way he does. He is there to show you how to be a good man. He is there to see his grandchildren grow up and tell them stories about how you were as a little kid. He will always be there to remind you that you will always be daddy’s little girl or dad’s little man.

Most of all, he is there to love you….ALWAYS.
