50 razões fantásticas para eu adorar o meu pai

There are so many badass reasons why I love my dad that I decided to put them all in writing. Why? Because why wait for Father’s Day to tell your dad how you feel?

I truly do have the best dad ever, and since dads don’t get near enough credit that they deserve, it’s all the more reason to shout it from the rooftops!

My dad is the first person to make every single family member laugh until we cry. Whatever my sisters and I need, he’s there to provide it no matter what.

Whatever he’s going through, we are always his number one priority. He is the most selfless, generous man I’ve ever known, and being his daughter is one of my favorite things in the world.

Ever since I was a little girl, he’s been like my best friend. I see so much of myself in him and honestly, nothing makes me happier.

O meu pai é verdadeiramente um num milhão, e aqui está uma abundância de razões para isso!

Ele é o epítome da DIVERSÃO

I don’t know how many people have a dad who’s the only person to make them laugh in difficult times. But I can honestly say that I do!

He is fun, loud, loves to crack jokes, and almost never stops talking (almost to a fault). He’s the first one to break into a song with me and just enjoy the moment singing and laughing.

Everybody who knows him will tell you that he’s the coolest, funkiest, and funniest person you could ever know. His sense of humor is the coolest, truly.

And no matter what I’m going through, I know that he’ll be able to get me to crack a smile. I love my mom to the moon and back, but when it comes to fun, my dad’s the go-to guy.

He’s strong, resilient, and hopeful

He’s been through his fair share of difficult times (still does), but regardless of all that, his spirit, strength, and resilience are astounding.

He’ll never show it when he’s feeling unwell. He gets up every time life knocks him down. Whenever he’s told bad news, he handles it like a champ.

Honestly, I admire that more than probably anything else. He’ll never be one to complain and take life’s beating. He lives his life exactly the way he did at a young age and nothing can stop him.

That’s one of the cool things about him. You could never tell that he’s had it hard because he’d never let it show!

Ele é o maior fã de música que conheço

Uma das muitas razões pelas quais adoro o meu pai é a sua profunda adoração pela música! A paixão que ele tem por ela é inspiradora.

E transferiu tudo para mim.

When we are together, you can bet your bottom dollar that we’ll be having a jam session, each one louder than the other. He used to sing in a band, and he’s really good actually!

Due to unfortunate circumstances, he’s kind of lost his voice now, but he still goes at it full throttle.

And with him, there will always be the coolest atmosphere because he’s just that kind of person. His life wouldn’t be complete without music, and luckily, I am exactly the same.

Ele é um marido tão bom

I love the way he is with my mom. He would do anything for that lady. He makes her dinner when he knows she’ll come home late and tired from work.

He watches TV shows that she likes, even though he’s not a fan, just so they can spend time together.

When it’s her birthday, he puts so much thought into gift ideas, and he makes sure to write the most beautiful note, and not just give a generic card with the typical feliz aniversário linha.

He makes her smoothies when she comes home from the gym and buys her ice-cream when she’s in a bad mood.

Anything you’d hope for in a husband, he’s that and more.

Ele mata aranhas para mim

Eu sei que isto é um disparate, mas será que é mesmo? Tenho um medo estranho de aranhas (e de outros insectos) e sempre que me deparo com uma, sei a quem ligar.

He’ll just laugh at me, get rid of the thing, and make fun of me for being so dramatic. With him, you can be sure that he’ll find the light side to every situation.

Por isso, sim, uma das razões mais estúpidas pelas quais adoro o meu pai é o facto de ele matar aranhas, insectos e baratas por mim. Não há muita gente que faça isso, sabes?

Ele adora aventuras

My dad loves to have a good time. Just because he’s a certain age, does not mean he’s done having fun. He loves to go to festivals and catch his favorite bands.

He loves going on vacation with my mom all around the globe. He’ll never just turn into a couch potato and not leave the house just because he feels he’s too old or something.

Para ele, a idade é mesmo só um número. E vê-lo tão feliz e proactivo, ainda hoje, faz-me querer ser mais aventureira também.

At this point, he goes out more than I do. And we can’t have that, now, can we?

Ele sabe o valor do trabalho árduo

Right, he’s retired, but up until the last day, he worked so hard, without ever complaining. He was a cop, and he worked insane shifts.

Admirava muito a sua ética de trabalho e a dedicação que sempre teve à sua profissão. São muitas as lições de vida que ele me ensinou, mas o valor do trabalho árduo supera todas elas.

Because of him, I am who I am today, and in a way, I owe it all to him. He’s always pushed his boundaries and found a solution no matter the problem.

Há imensas razões pelas quais eu e as minhas irmãs gostamos tanto do pai, mas esta é uma das maiores.

Ele dá os melhores abraços

Who doesn’t like a long, reassuring hug from their dad, right? My dad truly does give the best hugs.

No matter what I’m going through, he’ll just look at me, give me a slight smile, and bear hug me, washing all of my worries away.

And I know that anyone can hug you, really. But it’s not about the hug per se, it’s about the person, don’t you think?

E quando vem do meu pai, significa muito mais. Porque sinto todo o amor naquele único abraço de dez segundos.

Ele manda-me sempre mensagens sem motivo

My dad is one of my favorite texting buddies, which is something I never thought I’d say. He’ll just hit me up asking whether I’ve seen a certain new movie.

Na verdade, quase ninguém me manda tantas mensagens como ele. Falamos de música, séries de televisão, filmes e acontecimentos actuais.

He is up-to-speed on literally everything going on in the world, and he’ll always be the first to tell me about any news I may have missed.

Isn’t that so cool? Ever since he got the hang of his new smartphone, he’s really making an effort to always keep in touch.

Ele é tão protetor em relação a mim

Dads, in general, are really protective of their daughters and I think it’s so great. I cannot wait to have a husband who’ll be as protective of our kids the way my dad is over my sisters and me.

I just know that he’ll always make sure I’m safe. If he hears about anyone mistreating me in any minor way, let’s just say: pity the fool.

It’s really reassuring having a dad so involved and who cares so much. Sure, sometimes dads can go overboard, but it’s all out of pure love. They don’t know any other way!

20. He never shuts up when we’re watching a movie. He has to make sense of everything that happens, plus he always yells at characters when they do idiotic things (which is all the time).

21. He never forgets birthdays and anniversaries. Whether it’s my mom, my sisters, myself, or our grandma, he remembers every single important date!

22. He is really, really smart. I’m serious! Every time we watch A perseguição ou Quem quer ser milionárioEle sabe quase sempre as respostas. O seu conhecimento de tantos temas é inspirador.

23. He supports me no matter what I do. And trust me, I’ve had some questionable decisions, but he’s never made me feel bad or rushed me in any way. He’s just there.

24. We can make fun of Mom together. My mom is the coolest, but when it comes to technology, she’s not the best, and my dad and I make sure to give her some trouble whenever we get a chance.

And Finally…

Portanto, sim. Estas são todas as razões fantásticas pelas quais gosto tanto do meu pai. E, sinceramente, podia continuar a falar durante horas a fio.

Having a world-class dad makes me feel so lucky. And I want to make sure that he knows it. So if you have a dad who loves you, cares for you, and makes sure you’re okay – reciprocate it!

Wish him happy Father’s Days, but also every other day in between. Because you really don’t need an excuse to tell your dad Eu amo-te. Só o facto de ele estar presente é a razão de que precisas.

Let’s give dads the credit that they deserve and stop waiting for the right time to show them our love. Shoot him a text, give him a call, or FaceTime him out of the blue.

Ouvir falar de si inesperadamente será a melhor parte do dia dele. E ser a razão do seu sorriso é uma das coisas mais puras e genuínas que se pode obter.
