Happy Fathers Day

I already made a post, Meet my Father, about my loving father 2 years ago. My father is well respected and loved by all his siblings, relatives and in our community.

When God Created Fathers

Today is a Fathers Day celebration. I wanna share with you a nice  story dedicated to all fathers.

When the good Lord was creating Fathers he started with a tall frame.

And a female angel nearby said, "What kind of Father is that? If you're going to make children so close to the ground, why have you put fathers up so high? He won't be able to shoot marbles without kneeling, tuck a child in bed without bending, or even kiss a child without a lot of stooping."

And God smiled and said, "Yes, but if I make him child size, who would children have to look up to?"

And when God made a Father's hands, they were large and sinewy.

And the angel shook her head sadly and said, "Do you know what you're doing? Large hands are clumsy. They can't manage diaper pins, small buttons, rubber bands on pony tails or even remove splinters caused by baseball bats."

And God smiled and said, "I know, but they're large enough to hold everything a small boy empties from his pockets at the end of a day...yet small enough to cup a child's face in his hands."

And then God moulded long, slim legs and broad shoulders.

And the angel nearly had a heart attack. "Boy, this is the end of the week, all right," she clucked. "Do you realize you just made a Father without a lap? How is he going to pull a child close to him without the kid falling between his legs?"

And God smiled and said, "A mother needs a lap. A father needs strong shoulders to pull a sled, balance a boy on a bicycle, and hold a sleepy head on the way home from the circus."

God was in the middle of creating two of the largest feet anyone had every seen when the angel could contain herself no longer.

"That's not fair. Do you honestly think those large boats are going to dig out of bed early in the morning when the baby cries? Or walk through a small birthday party without crushing at least three of the guests?"

And God smiled and said, "They'll work. You'll see. They'll support a small child who wants to ride a horse to Banbury Cross, or scare off mice at the summer cabin, or display shoes that will be a challenge to fill."

God worked throughout the night, giving the Father few words, but a firm authoritative voice; eyes that saw everything, but remained calm and tolerant.

Finally, almost as an afterthought, he added tears.

Then he turned to the angel and said, "Now, are you satisfied that he can love as much as a Mother?"

The angel said nothing more.

Daddy Moments

Next Sunday will be a "Fathers day celebration' so I am making a post about non other than  the father of my 5 loving children.

Let me give you a brief history of our whirlwind love affair. We met in Qatar  April, 2004 through  common friends, had a first date on May 9 at Sheraton Hotel  and then got married on June of the same year. The planned date was supposed to be on the 4th of July but due to unavoidable circumstances we moved it one week earlier.

Now back to Daddy moments, as a husband he is a sweet loving husband and  and  father, he may be strict and a disciplinarian but  that what makes his 3 grown up sons who they are right now while  the 2 younger ones are still in the molding process.

I have lots of picture of dady with children but since he  refused to be recognized on my blogging world,  I just showed some photos of him (as usual) showing his back.
