A Father's Relentless Love
A few years ago, there
was a severe earthquake in Turkey. Many buildings and homes were leveled. Among
the thousands of casualties, a 6-year-old boy named Armand was missing. His
father, knowing his son was at school the time the earthquake hit, raced to the
collapsed structure. Climbing to the top of the pile, Armand's father began to
pull off the shattered mud bricks. The sharp corners of the bricks sliced up
his hands as he carried them down the pile and tossed them aside. He continued
to offload the bricks. Every time people would try to stop him and tell him
it's useless, he'd reply: "Join me or leave me alone! Join me or leave me
alone!" Well after forty-seven hours of consecutive digging he heard a
voice: "Daddy, is that you?" Armand's father exploded with joy as he
found his son along with his classmates huddled together under collapsed walls.
Armand kept telling his school companions: "I told you my daddy would
come! I told you my daddy would come!" And indeed he came - a father's
relentless love

"We
believe that every child needs a dad they can count on.
Children
thrive when they have an involved father – someone who loves them,
knows
them, guides them and helps them achieve their destiny."
