A dad is someone that is there, every step of the way, with you on your journey through life. A man of integrity. Not someone that did their part in making you but not their part in teaching you. It takes a special kind of man to be called ‘dad’.
That man that provides for his family. Loves his family unconditionally. A man that takes pride in his family and the unity they have. He is the first man a daughter learns to love and respect. He is the first man that a son learns what being a man ‘really’ means.
He is a dad in every sense of the word. Someone that will or has taught you right from wrong, how to treat someone, how to love unconditionally. A man that will teach you respect and commitment. A man that will always be there in the good times and bad times.
Dad is someone that you know will always have your back. A man that has been in your life to show and teach you all these things. He is a man that will let you know that it is okay to cry and he will dry your tears when they fall.
A man that will show you how to learn from others in your life. How to have healthy and loving relationships. How to throw a ball, ride a bike, and shoot hoops. He will teach you to skip rocks across the water, how to fish, hunt and the things you need to know about nature. A dad is someone who will protect you from the evils of this world as long as he can. A man that will never deny being a dad or a father to you.
He is the one that will teach you about God and how He is the greatest Father of all. That He is the one a dad looks to for guidance, understanding and unconditional love. That if you allow, accept God in to your life, all things are possible. A dad will teach you or teach you to put God first in your life for that is the way things should be.
This is just my idea of what a dad, father, pops is like. My dad is the man that showed me these things and taught me these things. Yes, it DOES take a special man to be called dad, father, pops. A very special man indeed…..
