The beautiful pain of raising a daughter
A Simple Moment, A Deep Connection
I was reading a book when my five-year-old daughter, playing cooking on the porch, suddenly ran to me and asked: "Dad, want tea?"
The Innocent Conversation
Daughter: "Dad, want tea?"
Father: "Nice job mom."
Daughter: "Would you have another cup?"
Father: "No Mommy! I am studying."
Daughter: "Then eat Horlicks. There will be power!"
I looked at her and realized - I don't remember anyone being so genuinely concerned about me since my pregnant mother.
The Overwhelming Emotion
I pulled her to my chest, laying her head on my neck. My eyes blurred with the smell of her hair. "Oh mother! Bonding on the food!"
"Sometimes my eyes get wet why? Do every daughter's father cry secretly like me?"
Remembering Another Father's Tears
I remembered my wedding day - my father-in-law hugged his daughter and cried. Trembling, he told me: "The girl is very affectionate to me, if I do any mistake, tell me dad, don't scold."
I had promised him, but in the struggle of family life, I made another's daughter cry. I scolded her. My wife doesn't remember these moments now - she's only worried about our family.
The Circle of Women's Sacrifice
👰♀️ Daughter
Leaves her father's protection
💍 Wife
Creates a new circle around her family
👩👧👦 Mother
Her world revolves around her children
"It's surprising to think, what sacrifice a woman does for her family!"
A Father's Fear
My little girl will make me cry one day and go into another circle! Maybe I'll need to hold another young man's hand and repeat the same words my father-in-law told me.
"Being a father of a daughter is so painful! How painful it is not felt before becoming a father."
The Magical Connection
"Girls can probably read Father's feelings, God sends girls to the world with a strange power to read Father's feelings."
