Although mothers play a decisive role in the lives of children, the significance of a father figure can never be undermined. Both parents are like two wheels of a bicycle, driving and moulding their kids’ lives in various phases by taking on different roles.

Fathers play multiple roles of a protector, healer as well as inspirer for their children to become capable leaders. Every child looks up to  “Dad” as a steady rock in his/her life, someone they can rely on. Fathers are indeed pillars, along with our mothers, upon whom the foundation of a child rests. They prepare the child for the future.

Among all the people in the world, parents, especially fathers, are the most motivating and inspirational figures one could look up to. A day or a few words will never be enough to thank or recognise their roles and positions in children’s lives.

Fathers are often seen as pillars of strength within families. They provide guidance, protection, and stability, acting as role models for their children. Whether it’s teaching valuable life lessons, lending a listening ear, or offering a helping hand, fathers leave a lasting impression on their children’s lives.

They are the sources of motivation and inspiration who help us, guide us, support us, and provide us with unconditional love.

To sum it up, here’s a quote for all the fathers in the world: “When my father didn’t hold my hand, he had my back.” —Linda Poindexter
