Father's Day is a day that celebrates your superhero, not the one in capes, but the one in dapper shirts, smart shoes, and observant eyes. It’s about honouring the man who held your tiny hand, taught you to stand tall, and made silence feel like comfort. Sometimes, he doesn’t say much, but his actions speak volumes. A provider, protector, and personal cheerleader, all wrapped into one.

While wishing a mum often flows like a poem, easy, emotional, and natural, when it comes to fathers, the words somehow stall. How do you pen down love for the man who keeps showing up, quietly, constantly? Maybe you’ve never said it out loud, but you notice every effort, every sacrifice. And this Father’s Day, your card is your voice. Your dad maybe your go-to fixer, your silent strength, or the man whose jokes you secretly love, so take this moment to let him know what he means to you.
