Fathers Day

Posted on September 04 2016


Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!

I am so lucky to have my dad.

Sometimes I look at him and I am shocked. Shocked that his hair is white. Shocked that he needs glasses to see. Shocked that even though I am nearly 38 years old, I need him as much as I did when I was a tiny little girl.

He has always had a larger than life presence. Big, strong, dependable. Funny, grumpy, sarcastic, but there. For every milestone, occasion and special moment.

When I was a little girl I would tell people he was a wrestler. To me at the time that was the epitome of strength. He is a big guy, a tower of power. I would brag about his muscles as though he were a superhero.

I still brag about my dad. About his strength - but not because of his muscles. Now I like to share things that as an adult, I realise are so important.

He is kind. He is supportive. He is comforting. He is calming. Although I suspect I inherited my rage-like tendencies from him, he doesn't direct his anger at us.

He is an amazing Poppy to our grandkids. He demonstrates a patience that is amazing. Especially when the kids do stuff that we did as kids and got in trouble for - he has mellowed into a stereotypical grandpa. Teaching, guiding. Building them amazing things in his shed. Cooking pikelets on a sleepy Sunday afternoon.

I know I have shared with you his battle with cancer. The one he won. The battle that made us 4 kids love and appreciate him just that little bit more, but I just have to share my gratitude. That he is here, that he is alive. Someone to be celebrated and adored.

The older we get, the more people we lose. Of course it happens. It's life. But it's terrifying. The thought of losing my parents fills me with dread. When I hear of my beautiful friends and family losing their treasured parents, I cry. So much. Because I put myself in their position and imagine.

On Mother's Day this year I wrote about mums and the importance of our roles. How we don't always know what is right or wrong. Sometimes we stuff things up, sometimes we rock it. Being a dad is no different.

I know there are plenty of crap dads out there. But there are gazillions of brilliant ones. Stepdads, single dads, hard working dads. Dads that don't really know what the hell they are doing but are there anyway. Foster dads, adoptive dads. Stay at home dads. MumDads - those kickass women that are there fulfilling both roles for whatever reason. 

Today can be painful for many people. For those who have lost their beloved dad. For those who had a dad that wasn't around. You may never have known your dad and have a million unanswered questions. For dads that have lost children. Or cannot see their children but desperately want to. Today can highlight pain, loss and sadness.  

Being a parent, either mum or dad, is hard work. Rewarding? Yes! Satisfying? Sometimes! It can be really hard. I'll never forget when we had our first baby, I mumbled something to my husband about him being able to go to work for a break. He looked at me incredulously and said 'have you got any idea how hard it is to tear myself away? She's my baby too! I don't want to be at work, I want to be at home so I don't miss out'. I'd never thought of it like that. I was just jealous that he could have an escape and I couldn't. I know now in hindsight that there was a bit of PND in my reasoning.

Some men are capable of feeling that real bond with their kids. I was lucky enough to grow up with one of them, and I am lucky enough to be married to one of them.

So today I celebrate them.

Happy Father's Day

    My name is Natasha Thompson from the USA/Texas.. Am so overwhelmed with gratitude to let the world know how Dr Kachi, the great spell caster changed my life for good. It all started when I lost my job and I was down financially and emotionally because I couldn’t be able provide for my two kids and staying home all day Jobless it’s not easy until I was checking on the internet when I saw a series of testimonies hearing people winning the Powerball lottery, I didn’t believed, but being poor no job you have no option. I gave it a try and I contacted Dr Kachi who told me what i have to do before I can become a big lottery winner and I accepted. He made special prayers for me in his temple and gave me the required numbers to play the lottery game and when I used the numbers to play it, I won a massive $344.6 million Powerball jackpot.

    I want to share my experience about how I got My Wife Back. After three years of a broken marriage, My Wife left me with our two kids. We were constantly quarreling and struggling, which ultimately led to a serious breakup. My wife packed her things and moved away. Despite this, I was determined to reunite with her. But I was told by a reliable source, a very close co-worker, that Dr Kachi is a very dedicated, gifted and talented person, Then I met Dr. Kachi, a remarkable spell caster, who assured me that my wife would return within 24 hours after he prepared a love spell. I’m thrilled to say that Dr. Kachi kept his word! My Wife came back home, fell to her knees, and begged for my forgiveness. Today, our family is back together, and we are happy, healthy, and living together again. Dr. Kachi made my dreams come true by helping us reunite.

    Reviews and comments can be helpful most times. permit me to share that, in the first week of March 2024, I was convinced to invest in a fake Altcoin cryptocurrency platform through someone I connected with on Telegram , which I did but unfortunately after investing my money I discovered I could not withdraw or access my account on the fake platform. Lucky for me, I came across a review on funds recovery and I contacted Coinsrecoveryworldwide Service, and through their help and support I was able to recover my money. Losing money trading crypto can be frustrating but I am happy today that my funds are recovered and I wish to share with you their contacts as i know i am not alone on this boat, nobody deserves to be in such situation.

    If you’re not familiar with cryptocurrency trading, I strongly advise you to either stay away from it completely or invest very cautiously. I was forced to invest a significant amount of my life savings on a forex platform to increase my profits, but I ultimately lost roughly 95,000 USD to this investment scam. I was not allowed to take my money out after I had invested and made a profit. I sent a letter to customer service, but it was ineffective, so I realized I had been duped. I was fortunate enough to come across a genuine deal retrieval WEB WIZARD after much looking for ways to acquire assistance. I decided to give it a shot and explained my condition to them. they gave me their word that they would help me get my money back. Honestly, they performed a fantastic job, and my money was recovered in my wallet in less than 24 hours without any upfront payment. I appreciate having encountered WEB WIZARD with such exceptional abilities, it’s truly remarkable.

  • Cheng Seaphan: August 25, 2024

    Hello everyone, I am really grateful to God for leading my way to meet Doctor Odunga who gave me the winning numbers to the Powerball lottery to win $1.3 Billion Dollars. My name is Cheng Saephan, I am 46 years old and I have been diagnosed with Cancer for over 8 years now. I live in Portland, Oregon. My wife Duanpen has done everything she can to cure me of this illness until a friend of hers Laiza Chao introduced Doctor Odunga to her that he can cure all types of illness. My wife told me about this man and I didn’t say much but thank God she did contact him through his email. I quickly learned that this man can also make people win the lottery and I just couldn’t resist asking him first to do a lottery spell for me because I have been playing the lottery almost everyday since I can remember. It didn’t take time at all when this man gave me the winning numbers for the Powerball and I played it and won the Powerball Jackpot of $1.3 Billion Dollars. This man blessed my family and also cured me of Cancer. Thank You Doctor Odunga. I have testified about your work sir and hope to bring serious ones to you for help too.
