I’ve witnessed, and been surrounded by several children, longing for a father figure.

The situation was either their dad was emotionally absent or their dad was physically absent.

In some cases, their own mother becomes their father figure, but not all moms can handle the pressure and carry their emotional baggage.

These children afterwards, start becoming their own father figure. Nevertheless, the unfulfilled bond and guidance of an actual father.

They grew up and they managed to do all the responsibilities and duties a father was supposed to do.

As they grew up, I’ve witnessed how bold and tough they have become. They’re one of the bravest people I’ve ever met, and they deserve all the credit.

So, Happy Father’s Day to all the fatherless children who became tough enough to raise themselves and look up to themselves as a father figure.
