Redefining fatherhood

In a world that often highlights the nurturing role of mothers, the silent strength of single fathers often goes unnoticed.

Yet, behind the closed doors of countless homes, these unsung heroes are rewriting the definition of fatherhood with quiet resilience, unconditional love, and tireless devotion. Their journey is one of sacrifice—juggling careers, cooking meals, helping with homework, and often drying tears—all while carrying the emotional weight of being both protector and provider.

These fathers are not just filling a void; they are building a foundation of trust, love, and stability from scratch. Many wake up each day questioning if they're doing enough, yet never stop trying. They miss promotions to make it to school events, skip meals to ensure their children don't go without.

In a society that is still learning to appreciate the many forms of parenthood, single fathers deserve not just recognition, but heartfelt gratitude.

Here're a couple of such dotting dads who share with Sunday POST their journey of single parenthood.
