Happy Father's Day

No i am not going to change my WhatsApp display picture or upload my status with my dad carrying me, or me perching to him like a baby monkey. I love my father from the bottom of my heart, for our similar interests in reading, cracking jokes and talking in sign languages, even to this day he tells me that i am his favorite child.

 I wish my dad a happy father's day, your little princess who has grown and flourished in life and still looks upto you Appa. 

I fondly wish my husband, a very happy father’s day too. I have many great  reasons to wish him for the wonderful father that he is!

I feel so lucky to be married to a man who plays such an active role in our kids lives. The transition from couples to parents seemed terrific for us. I wondered what kind of mother I would be? What kind of a father he would be? Were we really ready?. Ready or not, the baby was coming!

Once we became parents, we realized how heightened responsibility it was and still is. I truly began to feel the kind of father I have given to my kids.

He is funny. My husband plays the fool whenever there is the slightest possibility of having a laugh. Sing, dance, make funny faces, you name it! He is up for doing whatever to earn a giggle. When tensions run high and I am at my wits end, it’s often his humour with the kids that makes me calm down and save my sanity. 

From broken toys to broken feelings, he’s a natural at curing whatever it is for me and our kids

Finally, I love him more as a dad than a husband ( in fact am bit jealous of it too!)No one can make my children laugh like he can. Even if I try as much as I can, the best belly laughs are always for their DAD.

Nothing binds us like children do. Parenthood bonds are stronger than marriage vows. Here is  why I love him even more after our kids came

He is the man my daughter will compare others to. She may not know it yet, but someday, she will search for a man who will love her as much as him

What pregnancies have made to my body and health. And that makes me feel more beautiful in his eyes.

He has given me a world. A world which revolves around the three best gifts. And for that, I will always love him.

Happy Father's day
