Fathers are often our first heroes and forever mentors. They teach by example, lead with love, and lift us up even when they’re tired. Behind every strong child is a father who believed in them first, their steady hands and open heart have helped build dreams, dry tears, and open doors. Their legacy is written in our hearts. A father’s love may not always be loud, but it echoes through a lifetime. From early mornings to late-night talks, the impact is lasting and deep. To the dads who work hard, love harder, and give even when it’s hard to, this day is for you. Your commitment and quiet strength are the foundations of our lives. Here’s to the fathers who show up, stand firm, and speak life into the hearts of their children. You’ve turned ordinary moments into unforgettable memories. May you feel the warmth and gratitude you truly deserve. Today, we celebrate you not just for what you do, but for who you are; Strong, dependable, and full of love. Happy Father’s Day to every dad making a difference, one day at a time. Oluebube A. Chukwu, PhD., mnipr Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of Abia State on Due Process
