2. His love for you is oceanic, deep, vat and incomparable. While men aren’t naturally build to show emotions, they have the deepest of those emotions. Your dad struggles to show you his emotions, hoping that you’d feel it through his actions, his little sacrifices, his protections.

5. Without a moment of hassitation, he would lay down everything for you. He would drop everything for you. Your safety, happiness and fulfilment means more to him that his own life.
