Hello Readers,
I'm back, and first of all, I'm sorry for my last post. I simply wanted to connect with all of you and hear your thoughts on the topics we discuss. Your opinions matter to me. But I also understand that some of you prefer to be silent readers—and that's perfectly okay. I am one of those people too sometimes.
As Father's Day approaches, I want to share something close to my heart.
As parents, we want to give our children everything we possibly can. We work hard, make sacrifices, and try our best to provide them with a comfortable life. But sometimes, in the process, we forget what they truly need the most—our love.
Yes, material things are important, and we naturally want the best for our children. However, children don't measure love by expensive gifts or luxuries. What they need most is our attention, our time, our affection, and our presence.
Love doesn't always have to be expressed through grand gestures. Sometimes it is shown through listening to them, spending time with them, encouraging them, or simply being there when they need us.
I would like to share an experience that touched me deeply.
A close relative of mine is divorced and has a young son. One day, he came to our house. While playing alone, he started pretending to play hide-and-seek with his father. Watching him made me emotional. His father wasn't there, and he had barely spent time with him, yet he kept calling out, "Papa."
At that moment, I realized how much a child longs for the love and presence of both parents. We often say that children cannot live without their mothers, but it is equally difficult for them to grow up without their fathers.
That little boy was expressing feelings that he couldn't yet put into words. He was too young to fully understand the situation, but his heart knew what it was missing.
This Father's Day, let's remember that children need love from both parents. And for those children who are growing up without a father—whether due to separation, distance, or loss—we must surround them with extra love, support, and understanding.
This message is not only for separated mothers and fathers. It is also for families who have lost a loved one and are raising children through difficult circumstances. Life may not always be fair, but love can help heal many wounds.
To all fathers, thank you for your sacrifices, your silent strength, and your unconditional love. Your presence matters more than you may ever realize.
Happy Father's Day to all the amazing dads out there.
I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Please share them in the comments.
Thank you for reading.
