Father/Padre ❤️‍🩹👆🌈

A un padre no se le mide por las palabras que dice,
sino por todo lo que ha hecho en silencio.

Por las veces que trabajó sin descanso,
aunque su cuerpo le pedía parar.
Por cada preocupación que guardó para no asustarte.
Por las decisiones difíciles que tomó,
pensando siempre en darte un futuro mejor.

Muchos crecimos sin entenderlo…
Sin notar sus ausencias que en realidad eran sacrificios.
Sin valorar su forma de amar, más reservada,
menos expresiva, pero igual de profunda.

Y con los años, uno entiende:
Que ese hombre serio solo quería darte seguridad.
Que su dureza a veces escondía miedo,
y su silencio, amor.

Hoy no esperes una fecha especial.
No esperes que sea tarde para abrazarlo,
para decirle que lo valoras,
para escucharlo de verdad.

📌 No importa si fue perfecto.
Ningún padre lo es.
Pero si te enseñó a luchar,
si estuvo ahí cuando lo necesitabas,
si aún intenta acompañarte a su manera…
ya hizo más de lo que muchos hacen.

Hazle saber que su esfuerzo valió la pena.
Que sus consejos no cayeron en saco roto.
Y que su presencia, incluso con sus errores,
fue un regalo en tu vida.

Porque un padre no espera que lo aplaudan…
solo sueña con que sus hijos sean personas de bien.

Y si hoy caminas con valores,
con esfuerzo,
con respeto…
ya estás honrando su nombre.

🖤 A veces, el mejor homenaje que puedes darle…
es vivir de forma que se sienta orgulloso de haberte criado.

A father is not measured by the words he says,
but by all he has done in silence.

For the times he worked tirelessly,
even though his body asked him to stop.
For every worry he kept to himself so as not to scare you.
For the difficult decisions he made,
always thinking of giving you a better future.

Many of us grew up without understanding him...
Without noticing his absences, which were actually sacrifices.
Without appreciating his way of loving, more reserved,
less expressive, but just as profound.

And over the years, one understands:
That this serious man only wanted to give you security.
That his toughness sometimes hid fear,
and his silence, love.

Don't wait for a special date today.
Don't wait until it's too late to hug him,
to tell him you value him,
to truly listen to him.

📌 It doesn't matter if he was perfect.
No father is.
But if he taught you to fight,
if he was there when you needed him,
if he still tries to be there for you in his own way...
he's already done more than many do.

Let him know that his efforts were worth it.
That his advice didn't fall on deaf ears.
And that his presence, even with his mistakes,
was a gift in your life.

Because a father doesn't expect applause...
he only dreams of his children becoming good people.

And if today you walk with values,
with effort,
with respect...
you are already honoring his name.

🖤 Sometimes, the best tribute you can give him...
is to live in a way that makes him proud of having raised you.
