The Silence of the Father's

When I was a boy, I used to wonder why my father came home some evenings, just smiling without saying a word. No smile. No stories. Just silence, and a heavy walk to his room. Back then, I thought he was just tired. Now I know better—he was fighting battles he couldn’t explain.

He may be broke but couldn't cry.
He was sick but couldn't stop.
He was overwhelmed but couldn’t show weakness.
Because men don't have the luxury of falling apart.

The world is BRUTAL to men. You either produce or perish.
No break. No vacation. No soft landing. Just expectations.

Provide. Protect. Lead.
Even when your back is broken, and your soul is exhausted.

Now that I’m grown, I get it.
I get the pain he hid.
The nights he slept hungry so we wouldn’t.
The dreams he buried so we could dream freely.
The times he held his tears just so we’d feel safe.

To every great father out there I salute you.
To every father sacrificing his health, sleep, and peace for his children—you are the real Father.
