Father's Day - June 21st

Nice email received few days ago; we love you dad:

Me and My Father

وأنا عمري 4 أعوام : أبي هو الأفضل

When I was 4 Yrs Old : My father is THE BEST

وأنا عمري 6 أعوام : أبي يعرف كل الناس

When I was 6 Yrs Old : My father seems to know everyone

وأنا عمري 10 أعوام : أبي ممتاز ولكن خلقه ضيق

When I was 10 Yrs Old : My father is excellent but he is short tempered

وأنا عمري 12عاما : أبي كان لطيفا عندما كنت صغيرا

When I was 12 Yrs Old : My father was nice when I was little

وأنا عمري 14 عاما : أبي بدأ يكون حساسا جدا

When I was 14 Yrs Old : My father started being too sensitive

وأنا عمري 16 عاما : أبي لا يمكن أن يتماشى مع العصر الحالي

When I was 16 Yrs Old : My father can't keep up with modern time

وأنا عمري 18 عاما : أبي ومع مرور كل يوم يبدو كأنه أكثر حدة

When I was 18 Yrs Old : My father is getting less tolerant as the days pass by

وأنا عمري 20 عاما : من الصعب جدا أن أسامح أبي ، أستغرب كيف إستطاعت أمي أن تتحمله

When I was 20 Yrs Old : It is too hard to forgive my father, how could my Mum stand him all these years

وأنا عمري 25 عاما : أبي يعترض على كل موضوع

When I was 25 Yrs Old : My father seems to be objecting to everything I do

وأنا عمري 30 عاما : من الصعب جدا أن أتفق مع أبى ، هل ياترى تعب جدى من أبي عندما كان شابا

When I was 30 Yrs Old: It's very difficult to be in agreement with my father, I wonder if my Grandfather was troubled by my father when he was a youth

وأنا عمري 40 عاما: أبي رباني في هذه الحياة مع كثير من الضوابط، ولابد أن أفعل نفس الشيء

When I was 40 Yrs Old: My father brought me up with a lot of discipline, I must do the same

وأنا عمري 45 عاما : أنا محتار ، كيف أستطاع أبي أن يربينا جميعا

When I was 45 Yrs Old: I am puzzled, how did my father manage to raise all of us

وأنا عمري 50 عاما: من الصعب التحكم في أطفالي، كم تكبد أبي من عناء لأجل أن يربينا ويحافظ علينا

When I was 50 Yrs Old : It's rather difficult to control my kids, how much did my father suffer for the sake of upbringing and protecting us

وأنا عمري 55 عاما: أبي كان ذا نظرة بعيدة وخطط لعدة أشياء لنا ، أبي كان مميزا ولطيفا.

When I was 55 Yrs Old: My father was far looking and had wide plans for us, he was gentle and outstanding.

وأنا عمري 60 عاما: أبي هو الأفضل

When I became 60 Yrs Old: My father is THE BEST

جميع ما سبق إحتاج إلى 56 عاما لإنهاء الدورة كاملة ليعود إلى نقطة البدء الأولى عند الـ 4 أعوام ' أبي هو الأفضل'

Note that it took 56 Yrs to complete the cycle and return to the starting point

We both miss our Fathers

To Hard Working Dads

Very inspiring story sent to us and would like to share it will all Dads:

A man came home  from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year  old son  waiting for him at the door.
SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the  man.
SON: "Daddy, how much do  you make an hour?"
DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" the man  said angrily.
SON: "I  just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an  hour?"
DAD: "If you must  know, I make Rs.100 an hour."
"Oh," the little boy replied,  with his head down.Looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I  please borrow Rs.50?"

 

The  father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can  borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you  march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you  are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish  behavior."


The little boy quietly  went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's  questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some  money?
After about an hour or so, the  man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something  he really needed to buy with that Rs.50 and he really didn't ask for  money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and  opened the door.

"Are you asleep, son?" He asked.
No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.
"I've  been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier," said the  man.

"It's been a  long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the Rs.50 you  asked for." The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank  you daddy!" He yelled.

Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry  again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up  at his father.
"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father  grumbled.
"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy  replied.
"Daddy, I have Rs.100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have  dinner with you."
