Fathers, Be Present!

By fredkese | fredkese | 3 Jul 2019


>I'm a man, 40 and works at the ministries. I lost one and only daughter exactly a week today and I keep crying almost every day at home, in my car and at the office. I'm a fan of mahr Zain and anytime I'm going home I listened to his songs especially"Allahu Akbar or In Sha Allah" and I cry like a baby in my car. One time I nearly had an accident. This morning I had to be stopped by a roadside police man who asked what the problem is, and I told him I always think about my late daughter, he became so emotional and adviced me to take it easy on myself. I can't, I've tried my best and still trying. I've never had enough time for her due to work, even during the weekdays I hardly spend some quality time with them. I'm pleading to all fathers to please have some quality family time with their children and wife's especially. It must be the last day or time you'll see them. Money is good but family it's the best. I'm regretting my actions so much, how I'd wished to get her again and take her wherever she would love to go. I keep remembering when she always asked me to take her to the mall and play because her mates have been talking about the place hhhmmm I've never taken her out for even a day. It keeps hunting me. Men, please let's honor our children and wife's especially some us who struggle to get even one child. This is just a reminder to myself and other married men who doesn't show much love, care and family time with their children and wife's. I need prayers please.

Saw this post and I wanted to share with all here, especially men. Never be too busy for your family. A lot of times, all what we think about is making money to take care of our families, but sometimes our families need our presence more than any amount of money that we can give.

You can almost always make lost money, but lost time with your family and loved ones can't come again. Make time for the people in your life before it's too late. You miss birthdays and anniversaries and your excuse is you are making money to take care of the family, and during when you become available to them, they will have moved on by then.

You will have money and you will want to take them out, but by then they have other things to do. You then say they are ungrateful, because everything you did, you did for them. Maybe you did for them, but that's not what they wanted. However busy your schedule is, make time for family and loved ones.
