APPRECIATE YOUR DAD!

Thinking about how I've been running up and down to make every next days of my life wonderful most especially for my kids, then it got to me how my dad was once in such state and has forever remained there ensuring that myself and siblings get everything we needed, then I started to appreciate deeply the fathers love.

Dad they say, "a sons first hero,  a daughter's first love"

Most times we praise our mums, worship her as a goddess that she is and even ensure we make her happy by giving her what she wants but by that indirectly neglecting our dad.. Oh what a pity how sad this is..
Let me point out to you some things I discovered about our dads and how we have appreciated them less..
APPRECIATE HIS STRUGGLES 
I heard of the struggles my dad went through becoming a man, you probably have heard about yours, I saw little of the pains he burdened raising his family and having his kids. Day in day out, you have to eat, you need to be clothed, your future must be planned for.. His daily worries over his family should be appreciated.
APPRECIATE HIS COURAGE 
Especially for young people around my age, our old man had to take up the courage to face life out of the little or no support getting education or learning a trade, many was born a wretched villager but never remained neither wretched nor a villager which made us be where we are today, my friend jokingly do say "thank God your dad came to the city and hence had you here, what if he still remained in the village with you, you speak conc. dialect and go through the hard labour to survive". So I say Thank God for him
APPRECIATE HIS NOBILITY 
"Fatherhood is a vocation in God's service, to be not held lightly or frivolously,  but with the serious determination of serious Men". Only a responsible man as tagged right from the ages forsakes all bachelor's comfort to take on a woman and decide to raise kids, kudos to your dad and mine for giving us a platform to which we came to the world.. His responsible and amazing mentality gave him the eyes to find our mum, the strength to work building a home with her and a heart to love her. Starting a family, building the family and staying in the family is no joke, upon all the challenging times, they remained noble and responsible, appreciate your dad.

APPRECIATE HIS LOVE 
The most important thing a father can do to a child is love the mother, For the love and kindness he's shown all through the times, he should be appreciated.. Your Dad loves his kids, his heart is loving, his hands are open and his mind is understanding.. he could be strict and principled, he could be gentle and mild, it's all because he loves us deeply.
APPRECIATE HIS GIVING
It's not easy to suffer all your life getting money and all other resources to later give out and share with your kids, many salary earning dads has no portion of a whole month salary, as they get it they distribute to our receiving hands and desiring mouths. Think of the whole money spent getting you where you are and appreciate your dad.

There in every memory

See his love and care

strength and hands to count on 

Freshly he does share

Provider, toil so faithfully 

To make our dreams come true 

Give strong and tender discipline 

Though it is hard to do

A father is God's chosen one 

to lead the family 

And point it to His will for life

of love and harmony 

kudos to the father I know

TO THE FALLEN HEROES

to the Dads that's left us, to the ones who left so young and never tasted fatherhood, to the fathers who couldn't take us down through the struggles, and even to the aged who has supported their kids to an independently amazing point but are no more today.. May all your souls rest well in peace. amen

Appreciate your dad now that you have the chance. 
I am Mide Victory.
