The second Sunday in June is Father's Day. Compared to Mother's Day, Father's Day is somewhat overshadowed.
It is said that the original idea was to have a "Father's Day" because there is a "Mother's Day," so it is a "day to add on to.
My wife has two children and I, being married to her, take on the role of father.
However, since we do not live together, I am currently only a provider of childcare expenses. I believe that I will become aware of my role as a nurturing father only after I emigrate to live with my children and come into direct contact with them.
The first role required of fathers would be to create a safe environment for their families. A father with a sense of security is a "dependable father" who can be relied on to protect him in times of need.

Fathers who have children at a young age find it difficult to raise them because they themselves are in the process of growing up.
Having a child is easy, but raising a child is not.
The children call me "Daddy" on the videophone, but I am not doing anything fatherly.
There are still a few more years until I emigrate. In the meantime, my children will continue to grow up.
How will I deal with them as a father when they have grown up to a certain extent?
How can I make up for the time I was unable to spend with them while they were growing up?

It was Father's Day, so it was a message for me. It was the first Father's Day message in my life.
I thought to myself, "I have to work hard until my children grow up.
