CELEBRATE DAD

It seems only mothers and children are celebrated. Father’s day are hardly ever celebrated. You may be asking why. Why is there no special day to celebrate dad? It’s because every day is dad’s specials day. Do you need a special day to celebrate your dad? Not at all. Dad celebrates you every single day. He sings your praise, adores and cherishes you. He does not have to wait until a children’s day to celebrate you. He does that without telling you. And if dad celebrates you, how about considering celebrating him?

Children normally would say, " We do not have money dad, when we do, we’ll celebrate you". But do you really need money to celebrate dad? You can probably answer that question. Dad deserves being celebrated every single time of your life. And you’d be surprised how much he appreciates it.

The far you’ve been able to reach is because dad stood right beside you. He beckoned on you and showed you that beacon of light upon which you followed. Dad stole the show. Surprise? Yes he did. He did not have to let you know. He just did it.

Every car manufactured by an automobile manufacture is distinct from that produced by other manufacturers. Once a manufacturer produces a car, he tries to show the world the special feature that differentiates his product from others. The manufacturer celebrates their work. Dad does same too. He celebrates your features everywhere and every time he has opportunity to. He is your number one advertiser. Now consider doing it the other way. How about celebrating dad, celebrating his sacrifices, achievements etc.? How about letting him know he has achieved so much making you who you are and will be.

All the qualities that embody your dad make him very special. His attributes are rare and commendable and he is a symbol of greatness. Dad deserves everything you can say to optimize his qualities. He deserves everything and all the great words you’d want to use to show how much you appreciate him. Hoot the horns for your dad, call the drummers, dance the dance, and give dad a reason to smile. Let him feel appreciated.
