“One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters.” — George Herbert
Fathers are God’s masterpiece, placed on this earth to embody love, kindness, and unwavering guidance. None of us come into this world without a father, and while some may never truly experience a father’s love, most have been blessed by their wisdom, their sacrifices, and their silent strength.
Today, at Snehan, we joyfully celebrate Father’s Day in our rehabilitation center—honoring these extraordinary men for who they are and all they have given. These fathers devoted their lives to their children, sacrificing dreams, working tirelessly, and ensuring their families were uplifted. They labored day and night to provide education, comfort, and security, often forgoing their own needs just to nourish their little ones.
Yet, heartbreakingly, as children grow independent, they sometimes forget the hands that once held them, the shoulders that carried their burdens, and the sacrifices made without hesitation. Many fathers find themselves abandoned, wandering the streets, deprived of even basic necessities, simply because their children no longer wish to have them at home. The pain they carry is immeasurable.
The Bible reminds us, “Honor your father and mother,” a commandment given by God as a sacred duty. Now though they may no longer have their children by their side, Snehan stands with them today, honoring their sacrifices, cherishing their goodness, and reminding the world that their love deserves recognition, respect, and deep gratitude.
Happy Father’s Day!
