Fathers — the invisible heroes
I grew up always hearing praises of the mother - her contribution and sacrifices while raising her kids.
And I always used to wonder - why don't dads do the same for their kids?
Little did I know at that point, that it's even the dads who put efforts in their child's upbringing!
There's no point comparing whose contribution is bigger or better - the mom's or the dad's.
Because both of them have their own role to play in moulding the child and making him a better human!
And that's why, we often hear a single mother say - that she had to be her child's father, to teach him the harsh truths of life!
While your mom fed your the first morsel of food,
it was actually your dad who took you out for the first ride on his scooter!
While you got your first pocket money from your mom,
it was truly your dad's pocket from where it was shelled!
While your mom made your lunch box,
it was actually your dad's sweat and blood that you were chomping off in the name of food!
While your mom packed your school bag,
it was truly your dad who bought the books and the cover!
