Happy birthday Abah

Kali ini berbeza. Dua tiga hari yang lepas, terlintas di fikiranku apa yang akan berlaku pada diriku andai orang yang terdekat denganku pergi menemui-Nya. Sungguh. Nyata, hal ini tidak berlaku padaku semalam tapi seorang rakan. Entah kenapa, kehilangan ayahnya membuatkan aku sedih. Sungguh. Tak tahu kenapa. Hampir setiap jam aku mengatakan aku sedih. Pelik sungguh. Mungkin aku teringatkan abah. Pasti aku teringatkan abah. Birthday abah dah nak dekat. Satu Disember.

Fathers play an essential role in their daughter’s lives. Many things are learned and many things are taught. Some of the most meaningful moments in a daughter’s life are spent with her father.

“Women can be assertive without being aggressive“. When daughters learn to communicate with their fathers, and trust that their opinion will count, they can develop self-assuredness which will allow them to be assertive and stand up for themselves.

Nielsen’s own research has been conducted among her college students over a span of more than 15 years, and like other researchers before her, she acknowledges that positive fathering produces well-adjusted, confident and successful daughters who relate well to other men in their lives.

The father-daughter relationship is constantly evolving, whether you’re aware of it or not, and it’s really
important in shaping the little girl who will one day become a woman. Far from insignificant, your dad’s influence can be seen many areas of your life, can explain your behavior and the choices you make.

A loving, respectful and proud father can work miracles on his daughter’s ego. He gives her confidence and teaches her that she’s capable of succeeding.

It’s said that a woman looks for her father in the relationships she has with men. That’s not entirely true. But the relationship she has with her father will impact upon her relationships with men.

BUDDY DAD
He is his daughter’s pal. They often do things he enjoys together. Heencourages his daughter to try new things, even if it is predominantly a male activity. Buddy Dad is a great storyteller, but often his stories are about things he is interested in. As an adult, the daughter often sees her father as the one who taught her to stand up for herself and strive for what she wants. He may not have taken the time to talk about girl stuff, but he always supported his daughter’s choices.
