Moms are often reported to be closer to her kids than their father. This appears so because fathers are not always so expressive in revealing their emotions or love for his kids. But the truth is that, both the parents share unconditional love for their children. With Father’s day being the next upcoming celebration, it is time to honor all the fathers for everything they have done and sacrificed for their children.
