Dads are the ones that teach you to have a disciplined life. Waking up early, scoring good grades and even mastering a sport. They cheer you to make all the good choices in your life. A father holds enormous power to offer such unconditional love to his children or to withhold it. Unconditional love for our children is essential if we are to have a positive impact on their lives and help them grow into strong, confident individuals.
