Skip the socks and ask your dad these 4 questions this Fathers Day
This fathers day, we interview our dads; men of little words (you'll see in their interviews below lol), big hearts and irreplaceable influences in our lives. We are feeling all the feels this Dad's Day. How fortunate we have been to have such loving men raise us and define parts of who we are. Two proud daughters over here.
Sydney Collard, aka my dad, the one who has taught me the deepest lessons in courage and integrity. He taught me that there is never an inappropriate time for a sneaky joke or a laugh! He still lets me cuddle up to him and hold his hand. He holds me to my highest self and never lets me walk alone despite the oceans that separate us. Tess xo
What is one thing about Fatherhood that has changed you for the better?
The realization of the responsibility that comes with being a father.
What do you believe men today need to let go of?
I mean, when I became a dad, I had to give up a lot of my time, to devote to my children, their activities became more important than mine. In other words, your children's needs supersedes your own. I have great respect for todays fathers as they are more hands on and loving than my generation.
What is the most rewarding part of being a dad?
Seeing your children developing into confident, assertive contributors of society.
Who is your favourite child?
Easiest question - Tess, The Princess, Poule
You know this is going to be posted on the internet?
Oh shit, you'll get me in shit!
Mark Kusic, aka my rock, mentor, teacher of business, humour and affection. The man that taught me what it means to love your child endlessly. No judgement or expectation. The man with the most creative soul I know. You will never forget meeting him, he makes you feel like the only person in the room. There is no one on this planet like him. An irreplaceable piece of my heart. Alisha xo
