No matter how much you take your father’s love for granted, deep down you know he will always be your first, last and only unconditional love, and when he leaves this world, your core is shattered and no man will ever take his place.
It breaks my heart every time I sit with women who have been deprived of the father experience. This one goes out to all the fathers who had it in them to abandon their little girls, why would you give up on the chance of an eternal love like no other? Here are all the reasons you should reconnect with the only woman who will treat you as her king.
1. First hero
A father will always be the first man to hold you when you fall, laugh, cry, succeed or fail. He will always be the first one to make you feel complete. He is every woman’s hero who modeled what love, strength, independence and compassion are all about.
2. First unconditional love
Loving and giving your all to someone can be difficult as we grow older. We come to realize that love and life are not always that simple or just. The walls protecting our hearts keep getting thicker and tougher yet the one man who will always have a complete grip over your heart is your father. He is the one and only unconditional love of your life.
3. First role model
You look for him in every man you fall in love with. No man will ever measure up to him.
4. Best listener
You can tell him the most boring and irrelevant story and he would still nod with a smile on his face just to make you feel acknowledged. Now show me a man who would happily listen to you talking about eyebrows or haircuts.
5. Your backbone
As long as he is with you, you can overcome any hardship life throws your way, whether he does anything or not. Just the fact that he is a phone call away makes you feel secure. Sadly, the minute he leaves your world, your backbone will always be missing its core. Yet you hold on because he believed in your strength.
6. The definition of a bear hug
A father’s warm embrace is non-replaceable. It engulfs your whole world and makes every pain go away. You believe everything will be OK as long as your father is by your side. That hug on your father-daughter wedding dance is hands down the tear-jerker of the century.
7. The one man who will never hurt you
A father teaches his girl that she can be loved without being hurt. He is the first man to completely take over her heart and no man will ever live up to that kind of affection.
8. He believes in you
The sense of empowerment that leaves you thriving at every field in life started the minute your first love told you there is nothing you are incapable of and pushed you to the limit. He taught you to dream big.
9. You are his princess
You were a princess long before meeting your prince in shining armor. You have a king as a father and he named you princess long before anyone else.
