The JOY of Being a FATHER

The joy of being a Father?

A natural-born female, a daughter deprived of a father, now a mother, I find it difficult to grasp a father’s emotional state. I have always been into my own sentiments in life - womanhood, motherhood and all that girl stuffs.

I even have this thinking that no one would ever love my child like I do, besides the Almighty. However, seeing my husband’s endless smiles, lasting patience, affectionate care and all his hard work accentuate his love for our little one. I must say fatherhood made him more committed as a family man, and yes this tough-and-not-at-all-romantic dude became gentle, more affectionate, more sympathetic and more responsible.

To be honest, I negatively bated breath on him regarding marriage and fatherhood. Well, he’s absolutely not a bad catch to begin with; it’s just the fact that we all have individual negativity that we can never deny of. I love him and thank God for him. I sure know he is heaven sent and its God’s good will that brought us accord. And each day of our lives together, good or bad, is God’s wonderful workmanship to create a masterpiece.

I have come to realize that this dad truly loves his son never less than his child’s mama. I know I’ll never be able to figure out the joy of being a father but I am ever so grateful to this man who undoubtedly loves his kid with all the best that he can and by also loving and caring for his kid’s mama. Awwww (joyful tears)!
