Father's Day

Maternity is certainty; paternity is hearsay.

What a glorification?!

Mother carries the infant in her womb. This is visible to the world. Hence that is the certainty.

Father does not have a womb; ‘Creator’ made it a woman’s privilege. So his genes are hearsay.

Universe sings praises of mother. She is irreplaceable. Not that father is.
Mother’s shoulders can take the additional responsibility of father. But, can never become a father. Vice versa does not hold good. Of course, exceptions prove the rule.

Single parenting is not desired by the child. It is forced upon. It does not have a say. Death snatches father; It may be fate or destiny. Child’s grief is consolable. It will resign to fate. Separation, divorce or illegitimacy is too much for the child to take. Child suffers silently for no fault. On maturity, it gets rebellious or withdrawn in to its shell. It is an unpardonable sin to deprive or snap the father-child bond.

Complete and healthy growth and personality development of the child rests on both parents. Almighty decided to have two parents for each child. Surely he may have reasons to it. ‘His’ decision is to be respected and honored. Mother has natural advantages over father. This is the game of providence.

Presence of father is essential in rearing a child. Child favors plural; not singular. Children need parents; not parent. Morals are derived from both. First few months of baby are mom’s sole responsibility; Dad cannot do much. That is Nature’s way. Child begins to recognize and understand mom and dad; both are sought by the child. Child is incomplete without either.

It feels safe and secured with father’s presence. Papa is special. No one can take his place. Certain duties are designed for father. Some are tailor made. He takes the responsibility to carry out all those in total dedication and sincerity. After all, it is towards his own blood. He feels proud.

Love between father and child is each other’s prerogative. This does not permit anyone or anything to come in between. For most teens, dad is a role model.

One parent cannot play a dual role to perfection. They are two separate individuals. Father is a father; Mother cannot become one. Gays or lesbians cannot produce a baby. Ovules by themselves cannot create a life. Their union with ‘sperms’ formulates a baby. This meeting for mating explains everything.

Father is unparalleled as mother. He shares the same pedestal with the mother of his kids. Father joins his kids and world in showering praises and appreciation on the mother. In the chorus, distinctly heard is his voice!

Father, you are great. A small but fitting tribute is ‘FATHER’S DAY’.

Responsible and legitimate fathers must take pride in this unique day. These twenty four hours belong to them. Irresponsible and illegitimates must take the cue to reform and turn a new leaf. It’s better late than never. Also, it’s never late to build this special bond. But then, earlier the better.

HAIL PAPA!! Three cheers to you.
