The responsibility of each member of a family has long been determined consciously or unconsciously. Moms are considered for their tenderness, dads for their power and brothers for their complicity.
However, being a father or mother is much more than a role, it is a real obligation, associated with a feeling of absolute love, for the future and the happiness of one’s descendants.
The family unit is a place where everyone develops, supports each other, cherishes each other, quarrels, but it is always the best place where you can feel in the right place. For this reason, we are willing to go to such lengths to ensure that family members can thrive in life, as this dad’s moving story proves.
This dad works hard every day so that his youngest daughter can study and have a bright future. However, when she later asked him what he did for a living, he hesitantly replied that he was a factory worker.
He didn’t tell her anything about what he really did, so she wouldn’t be ashamed of him. He is a cleaner and in charge of the upkeep of the town and, so that his descendants are not embarrassed, he washes in the public toilets every day before returning home.
This loving father, born into extreme poverty, only wants one thing: for his children to go to school and receive a good education. For this, he never buys new clothes or anything else he likes, because he gives priority to buying school books over his little daily pleasures.
The only thing that motivates this man is the support he gives his children, as his daily life is so hard.
The day his daughter was to be enrolled in a higher education establishment, he was unfortunately unable to put enough money aside to pay for his daughter’s studies.
He was sitting near the trash cans, trying to hide his emotions and looking for an alternative. Seeing him in such a state, his colleagues promised to give him the money he needed. He didn’t want his friends to end up in such a condition, but they all held on and didn’t eat that day.
So he returns home without showering. He tells his daughters things like they are: his work and the sacrifices he makes every day.
Currently, his granddaughter works part-time to pay her school fees and to help her dad. To thank her dad’s colleagues, she took care to address them with these words:
“That day, you had an empty stomach so that I could become what I am now, so I will make sure that you are all nourished every day.
Ultimately, real value lies in the bonds of solidarity, sharing and love that we share with those who are most dear to us. Say thank you to your parents for what they do for you every day and be grateful to life, because the best is yet to come!
