🎉 Celebrating Fathers and Father Figures: The Unsung Nurturers

Hmmmmmmm, not all nurturers are biological relations...,they do show up in different sizes, shapes etc, not one size fits all. 

It is another day to celebrate a group of special persons, who get to be overlooked more often than not all year round (these ones who may not always say much, but their presence is very much loud in impact).

As we mark yet another Father’s Day, we take a moment to spotlight the often unsung but deeply powerful role of men as nurturers — not just in title, but in consistent actions.

Whether it is the biological dad who shows up at school events, the uncle who quietly pays fees, the foster father who stands firm as a safe place, or even that thoughtful older cousin who always checks in - these men shape lives in ways that linger long after childhood.

Nurturing is not only about hugs and lullabies, rather it is

- ...sometimes, the reassuring “I've got you,”

- …the lifted eyebrow that says “you can do better,”

- …the silent sacrifices made without spotlight,

- …the call, the counsel, the courage to just be there — through thick and thin.

In these days we live in, the role of men is evolving beyond the rigid, stoic archetypes. 

We now see fathers 

- changing diapers, 

- showing up for mental wellness conversations,

- supporting dreams over dictates, 

- and being emotionally available and not just physically present.

> "The righteous man walks in integrity; his children are blessed after him."

— Proverbs 20:7

So today, we celebrate the dads, stepdads, foster-dads, grandpas, uncles, adopted sons, cousins, brothers and every man who choose to nurture, lead with love, and hold space for growth.

Yes, you may not always wear a cape, but in the books of those whom you have shown affection, care and support? 

You are the real deal, our Gees, superheroes, the winds beneath our sails - rock-steady, silent, and spectacular. 😎😎😎😎😎
