Father, my only one :*

There are so many moments we all cherish our mothers. It is so very often we talk about the very sacrifice our moms have to make in order to rise as well. But why don't we talk about fathers' sacrifices?  They are the ones equally responsible for our development, they show us the world from other, masculine perspective. They bring strength and tenderness at the same time, and still most of us do not appreciate them as much as they deserve to. 


I honestly admit I love my father. He might not be the best person in the world, but he is the best father I could ever imagine to have. There are moments I am angry at him for what he does, for his attitude, his view and opinion. We may argue a lot, and have silent months or years. However he is the man who showed me that the beauty of the world. We couldn't spent too much time together when I was young. He was travelling a lot and working almost all the time, but those lovely times when we could do something together will be the ones I will keep in mind until the end of my time. Being a child is discovering the rules. One of them is that you cannot have all you want, even your parent attention. This is cruel but it shapes us as responsible and understanding people. Not only child has right to dream but parents too. Now, from many years perspective and through my kids observation I start to understand why sometimes I was sent to bed instead of spending nights with beloved parents. We should realize and understand that earlier that it is love that make mom and dad set the rules we need to obey.

As a father today I try to to spend as much time with my kids as I can, even if I risk success at work or I haven't time to write for you. My kids are my greatest creation and I shall help them grow as much I can. I cannot dance too much, even though I try a lot. My dream is that my daughter would once sing for me as Celine did:

If I could get another chance
Another walk, another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
How I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father again


Will I deserve that? So far I feel like I made more mistakes than any other dad. I try to be friend and a parent at the same time, but sometimes it feels like impossible task. One day she will leave and build her own world with another man. I just hope that he will be worthy one...
