*GIVE YOUR CHILDREN THIS PIECE TO READ ABOUT DAD.*
It takes a LIFETIME to realize that one's *_DAD WAS THE BEST_*
*WHEN* I WAS 4 years old, I knew my dad to be THE BEST...
*WHEN* I was 6, I also knew Dad to have known it all...
*WHEN* I was 10 years of age, I knew Dad to be good.
*WHEN* I was 12 years I began to think that Dad wasn't as good as he was when I was a little boy...
*WHEN* I WAS 14 years old, I began discovering him to be more temperamental and strict as never before....
*WHEN* I WAS 16, I was convinced that he was an old school, and was not up to standard - to the current times we live in....
*WHEN* I turned 18, I thought Dad was very intolerant and hard to communicate with & also difficult to get along with...
*WHEN I* turned 20, I realized that he wasn't an easy person, and began wondering how Mom was able to put up with him in all the years of marriage...
*WHEN I* turned 25, it seemed like he had many objections to everything that I did....
*WHEN I* turned 30, I was convinced that we were not on the same page, and that nothing would ever please him...
🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
*WHEN I* turned 40, I then only began to realize how good my upbringing was, and that I should also raise my kids up in the same way...
*WHEN* I was 45, I started wondering how did Dad ever put up with all the challenges he faced with us whilst we were growing up ...
*WHEN* I became 50, I realized how difficult it was for Dad to have educated us and trying to instill good manners
in us, thus I began wondering how he managed to tolerate our excesses
*WHEN* I was 55 years of age, I only then started realizing the wisdom & foresight my Dad had of life in getting us to where we are today...
*When* I turned 60, ONLY then did I eventually realize that *MY DAD WAS THE BEST*
*******
It takes a lifetime to realize the true status of our father. It takes us a life cycle to really appreciate our father.
The difference being, as teens growing up, we selfishl
