All fathers and father figures are appreciated for their sacrifices and efforts

Jun 21, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

I am indeed privilege on this occasion to have the opportunity to join proudly with the other members of the Guyana Public Service Union to extend a Happy Father’s Day to all the Fathers in and out of the Public Sector. Undoubtedly, fathers have contributed tirelessly towards the development of their families, the Public Sector and by extension the country.
Fathers have stood up to the challenges of accomplishing their roles and responsibilities during these trying times when Guyana and the rest of the world are resisting being engulfed by the COVID 19 pandemic. This has resulted in loss of their jobs, decrease in their income, loss of love ones and the list goes on but our fathers stood to the challenges and unite us together.
Our fathers within the health sector are our superheroes, you have significantly contributed in providing that quality health care for the sick and the needy during this pandemic. You have knowingly put yourself and that of your families at risk by ensuring that you execute your duties as a professional health care provider, a father, a father figure and a leader.
It is therefore important that today, a special and significant day be designated as Father’s Day .We honour the men who have embraced the essential role of fatherhood. We also take the opportunity to express our appreciation to all fathers and father figures for the sacrifices they have made in embracing the responsibility of nurturing and raising their chidden and more importantly, devoting quality time to the family.
Like mothers, fathers have much influence over their children. The contribution of a father in shaping the life of a child is momentous. Fathers are the ones who put their lives on the line so as to ensure that their children / family are happy and comfortable at all times.
Father’s Day gives us the opportunity to reflect and appreciate the sacrifices and compromises fathers made in providing a decent standard of living for their families. A son’s first hero, a daughter’s first love, it is said the power of a dad in a child’s life is unmatched. William Shakespeare, the English Poet said, “It is a wise father that knows his own child”. This indicates the importance of fatherhood.
I therefore take this opportunity to wish all fathers and also those mothers who fathered their children a Happy Father’s Day.

Ms. Dawn Gardener,
1st Vice President
Guyana Public Service Union
