Only eighteen, but how many times did I realize again and again that our fathers are living for us, not just for the case of the word legacy, but for a more pure level.
Waking up in early times, working untill late hours, for the sake of our hapiness... are we that precious? do we deserve it?
Right now I was thinking about times when other people told me how lucky I was, having such a hard working and carring father, and I really feel sorry and unfair about the present situation in the world, where everyone should have a loving father who shows his love through deeds or words, but not hide it in midst of his heart making love itself confused.
Humans in itself are made of love itself and there is no denying it, we couldn't breathe, watch, hear, feel or do anything without it. And showing love is a part of our lives, our duty and our reason, and our fathers are doing a pretty good job.
Even though we were not in really high financial position, he introduced us to a new high school, while we didn't know how expensive it was, we couldn't see it in him, it was just a brighter future for us in him.
Still today he works hard in paying off the high school we finished one year ago and is working now for the university now, one time, he said that when my young brother, who is the youngest finishes university that he will stop working, that was when I figured that he was working for us, while we weren't even studying that hard.
I figured, we as children hold the key to our fathers, parents happiness, and the brighter our lifes are, the brighter their smile will be. Thank you Father.

Top-level comments on this article: (1 total)As a young father, I was fearful of the financial obligation I had taken on by having 4 kids. Your article describes the work that fathers have to do. It is one of the ways that they express their love, even though sometimes they aren't good at the "expressions". The "soft words" is good for a father to use. Good article.Oh here is also 4 kids, and another problem was that me and my older brother were just with a year difference, so the burden was bigger :), i feel happy for you putting the financial obligations on side, 4 kids, thats a lot of love, i am sure there are a lot of problems and quarrels but once overcomed there will be more and more happiness :). Yeah i agree, also my father was not so good with expressions, but as we overcomed the problems, he changed. Thank you for commenting Christofer, see you around.
