“A father’s tears and fears are unseen, his love is unexpressed, but his care and protection remains as a pillar of strength throughout our lives.” – Ama H. Vanniarachchy.
A father is someone who you look up to no matter how tall you grow. Fathers are the superheroes, guides, teachers and friends who teach us valuable life lessons and always stand by us with unwavering support and love. Owing to their selfless sacrifices, we take a significant day in the almanac to celebrate them for all that they are. Father’s Day is celebrated on June 16 every year, but the grand event took place on 22nd June, 2024 in our school. It is always heartwarming for a father to speak about his fatherhood and how his child has changed his life. In that way, we had a couple of speeches given by the fathers. To make the event even more exciting, we had six father-child duos perform their best talents. Few duos sang, they danced and even did one of the ancient martial arts of India- Silambam. It gave us goosebumps seeing little munchkins performing on a stage. It reminded us that age is just a factor and it could never stop a person from achieving things. To bring some energy and rhythm to the event, there was an exhilarating zumba performance. All the amazing parents hit the floor unleashing their youth and joy. We had a couple of exciting games which everyone enjoyed playing. The bond between a father and his child is indelibly special and needs to be honoured in a special way. So this year, there was a Father-Child Ramp Walk. It was a pleasing sight when fathers got a token of love from their child and walked all the way down the ramp. All these moments were perfectly captured so that when moments turned into memories, they could cherish it.
The event came to an end with a vote of thanks but not the celebration. Even after the curtains were drawn on the wonderful event, the task of celebrating fathers never came to an end, because fathers are celebrated by their children everyday and every minute. Each gesture by their children inspires fathers to become even better for them. This reflects the selflessness of fathers who work tirelessly to ensure that their children enjoy life. Let us carry forward the spirit of Father’s Day everyday. May the journey of fatherhood be filled with love, joy and endless blessings.
