     My father is 49 years old now.I think my father is very handsome except for his hair because I can not see much hair on his head.In fact,I do not care about that .The reason is very simple,that is ,I have already been accustomed to it.But my father seems to be very unhappy with his head.He always complain to us that he hopes to get more hair .But I do not know how to help him because I am not a doctor.

     As his son,I do my best to search the information about affordable permanent hair restoration.For example,I have a friend and he is a doctor.I call him once a week if there are good ways to the problem.I do not get a good answer until yesterday. Read more »

The love of Father

     Someone likes to compare the love of father with that of your boyfriend.This is cery strange.I admit that they are same in some ways.But sometimes I just find it hard to make a difference.

     Q:What is the love of Father?

     A: Valentine’s Day is coming up next week, and I must tell you, it’s one of my favorite holidays.  That might sound strange coming from a single woman, as the stereotypical single woman loathes this day and fights with bitterness or jealousy, but I really do enjoy this holiday.

     The reason why I enjoy Valentine’s Day has nothing to do with romance.  It has little to do with flowers, pink, red, hearts, or cards (though let’s face it, I love those things).  The reason I love Valentine’s Day is that it’s a reminder of love: the Father’s love for us, and our love for one another.

     While Christmas and Easter are also great holidays for contemplating God’s love for us as demonstrated through His Son taking on human flesh and dying on the cross for our sins, Valentine’s Day has become another holiday for me to comtemplate these huge truths as well.

     At this time of year I try to take it a step further, seeking to live out the second greatest commandment, “Love your neighbor as yourself.”  Because I know that Valentine’s Day can be a temptation to mope, moan, and mourn for single ladies, I try to brighten this day for the single women I know by letting them know that I love and care for them with a simple card, and more importantly, that God does too.  It’s really the least I can do for others, considering the great cost of the love God has shown towards me:

     “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in  that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” – Romans 5:8, NASU

     Some comments:

     1)This is incredibly sweet! We can never have enough opportunities to celebrate the love our true Father has for us! You are such a witness for the Lord and how He does cherish and bless His pure, single children just as much and often as those who are married or in a relationship! Read more »

Wishes to Father

     We have just spent Father`s Day.

     “I know I can’t be the only person to notice it, but doesn’t it seem that there’s a fantastic amount of marketing and attention driven towards mothers, and very little devoted to fathers? It’s almost like the role of fathers has been completely dismissed, which is odd when contrasted with the incredible amount of noise that has been broadcast about “family values.” Beyond the obvious thing about “family values” really only amounting to censorship of what the anti-intellectuals don’t like because it offends their delicate little sensibilities and avoiding the responsibility of simply changing the channel, the value of the father within the family unit is that the father completes the family unit. Hopefully, this father’s day Daddy will start to get the kind of press that he deserves, and he had better get the big piece of chicken.”said Peter Stone.

     That us talk about the gift card in USA.The most popular gift for Dads—and often the only one he’ll get—is a greeting card. All told, an estimated 110 million cards are sent on Father’s Day, according to the greeting card company Hallmark.

     This makes Father’s Day the fourth largest card-sending holiday in the U.S., behind Mother’s Day (162 million), Valentine’s Day (192 million), and Christmas (2.1 billion).

     Fifty percent of Father’s Day cards are purchased for dads and another 20 percent for husbands. The remaining 30 percent fall into a broad “other” category, according to Deidre Mize, a Hallmark spokesperson.

     “It might be someone who served as a father role. Or it could be a stepdad. … ” she said. The Father’s Day card business, according to the retail federation, will ring up about $780 million this year. Read more »
