If you are a father today is your day, but also if you are going to be, or if the passing of the years has made you a grandfather. And we can't stop congratulating you all, although the best gift anyone has ever given you is the experience of being a father.
Each man begins to build his fatherhood from the moment he wants a child, and although boys and girls come to the world to dismantle the expectations that dads and moms have placed on them; accompanying them in their growth is an adventure in which everyone gets rich. To be a father is to feel the responsibility of protecting the children, and it is also to understand their own role as a mother's support during the first months of life. Parents are surprised daily with the progress of their children, and must decide what to do with their emotions when the child has become a preteen who challenges them.
You should know that children grow up and there comes a time when not only does the opinion of the parents count, but despite that, they need you: they need you to explain your values to them, and to listen to them without judging; that you let them correct their mistakes and that you trust them more.
Being a father is not only what I tell you, but above all it is your own experience, and the daily opportunities to improve it
Finally, if we want to congratulate all parents, I think it is also very important to convey the affection and strength that parents of sick children need, and those who cannot see their children every day because they have had to go far to work, or because to a family separation, or ...
For those who are today with your children and for those who are not: Happy Father's Day!
