Fathers Day - Reflecting On The Role of Fathers in their  Daughters Lives

Given it is Fathers Day I decided to write my reflections on the value of good Dads in the lives of their daughters. Although I am not with my Dad today I was lucky enough to have a day with him when he visited Auckland two weeks ago. It was a day where we could explore our city and enjoy each others company. In addition Kirsten is not able to physically be with us to celebrate Fathers Day but we do have lots of quality family time. I know Michael sees his role as her Dad as one of the best factors in his life and enjoys sharing her life through connecting daily. In my view really good father-daughter relationships set girls up for success on so many fronts - at school, in their careers and in personal relationships. A healthy relationship makes a daughter confident with males and also helps them be strong and confident. The relationship a Dad has with their partner sets the bar for a daughter on what they should expect out of a relationship. My Dad set the bar high for all of his daughters, sharing his support and love with us all and as he has got older showing us the power of reflecting and growing through wisdom. He acknowledges he may have not got everything right as he perfects the role a Dad plays with unconditional love. However his expectations of us all  has taught us the the role values play in our lives. We are all better people and powerful contributors of our own families and communities due to him. He also constantly pushed for us to challenge ourselves and not give up. Tenacity and perseverance when the going gets tough has made me stronger in every part of my life. Dad never tolerates quitting and this stops us all walking away when success and happiness might be round the corner. Happy Fathers Day to all those Dads out there making a difference in their daughters lives. Enjoy today however you are celebrating.
