Dance with My Father

We have all seen a mother cradling her child in her arms, and we have numerous images of the same. But there are also tender moments that a father shares with his child, though not quite rare, are not usually shown, or rarely seen. A father holding his little one in his arms and dancing with it can be a very tender and precious moment. It’s in these moments that a beautiful bond is created between a father and his child.

Many have been blessed to experience these moments but few are able to recollect the same, cause let’s face it, when was the last time you remembered anything when you were an infant. And then there are some fathers who miss out on these moments, for whatever reasons it may be. After all they are working hard for the money. These moments once gone can never be gotten back again, like a missed opportunity to creat a memory that will never return.

Girls are lucky in this case, they get to experience these moments through out their lives, after all they are their Daddy’s little girl and he’s their favourite dance partner. And not to forget the “Father-Daughter Dance”. As boys we are not quite that lucky to have these moments throughout our lives. Let’s face it we normally shy away, or avoid dancing with our very own mothers, let alone dance with our fathers.

So in the end many of us end up loosing the opportunity of sharing these precious moments, or even reliving these moments, cause we don’t quite have any recollection of the same. And when we no longer have the opportunity, we are left wanting, left wondering, what it would it be like to Dance with my Father again!
