The warmth of a father's love

In every family, a father's love is sometimes not expressed through sweet words, but quietly conveyed through small yet enduring actions. On Father's Day, the stories of these ordinary men – fathers who dedicate their love to their children in their own unique ways – become even more heartwarming and worthy of appreciation.

Mr. Nguyen Dai Duong usually spends time playing chess with his children every day.

"Dad, will you play a game of chess with me?"

Okay. Dad's free right now...

You're playing much better today! Where did you learn these chess moves?

- I'm learning online. I have to study on my own to beat you, Dad.

"Okay. Dad supports that!"

The conversation between Mr. Nguyen Dai Duong and his son Nguyen Trung Hieu, in Group 20, Bac Cuong Ward, sounds intimate, full of love, and always ends with joyful laughter.

Every day, Mr. Duong always takes the time to care for and guide his child, teaching him even the simplest things in life.

Father's Day: Memories of my father guiding me through life.For many, Father's Day is an occasion to give a small gift, share a family meal with their father, or simply call to check in. But for many others, this day is just a memory.

Father's Day: As Dad gets older…One day, the father who once protected us will need to be protected in return. Please don't see this as a burden, but as an opportunity for love to return to where it began...

For Mr. Duong, spending time with his children isn't a big deal, but simply about small habits: playing chess, going for a walk with them for at least 30 minutes each day, and talking before bedtime. When he has free time, he helps his son tend the vegetable garden behind the house or teaches him how to repair simple electrical appliances around the house.

Although he's not used to saying loving phrases like "I love you so much," or "My darling son," it's his gentle and patient care that keeps his children always close to him.

“Dad always speaks very gently. Even when I make mistakes, he never scolds me but instead analyzes where I went wrong and hopes I will admit my mistake and correct it. Whenever I'm tired, stressed, or under pressure from studying, even if I don't say anything, Dad always knows and quietly sits beside me, encouraging me, making me feel like I always have a strong emotional support system,” Trung Hieu proudly said about his father.

These are joyful and happy family reunion moments of Mr. Duong.

Sharing his views on raising children, Mr. Duong said: "I can't pay as much meticulous attention to my children as my wife, partly because of my personality, and partly because I'm busy with work. But I always have special priorities in my heart for my children. For example, no matter how busy I am, I always make time to take them to school every day. This is also when father and children have more time to talk and encourage each other to try harder. I also regularly observe my children to see the changes in their physical and psychological state so that I can support them in each stage of their growth."

The way Mr. Duong cares for and shows affection to his children is similar to that of Mr. Nguyen Hai Long, from Group 8A, Nam Cuong Ward, Cam Duong Commune. Fathers are often less talkative, sometimes hesitant to express their emotions verbally, but somehow, their children always sense their love and reciprocate with respect and pride.

Nguyen Hai Long and his son are also teammates who share the same passion.

For Mr. Long, being able to instill a love of badminton in his two children is a great success. Besides allowing him and his children to practice together every day and travel for competitions regularly, it also gives them more options for their future careers.

Mr. Long said: "I don't often say 'I love you,' but I believe my children understand my feelings. The fact that they also enjoy the same sport I like allows the three of us to spend more time together and share many things about life. Thanks to that, I also have the opportunity to witness my children's growth and be with them on many special occasions."

Sharing a passion for badminton allows Long and his son to spend more time together every day.

These children never had the chance to call out "Father."Not every child is born with the opportunity to call someone "Father." Some never knew their father, some grow up with a void left by separation, and others carry the burden of a father's absence throughout their lives. Behind this absence lies not only the sadness of a child but also social issues that need to be recognized and addressed.

Father's Day: Express your love to your father while you still can.

World gold prices fall to their lowest level in 7 months.Under pressure from a strong US dollar and expectations of a US interest rate hike, the spot price of gold has officially broken through the crucial $4,000/ounce mark, reaching its lowest level since November 2025.

Currently, Mr. Long plays both the roles of father and mother because his wife works far from home. Understanding the hardships their parents face, Mr. Long's two children are more independent than their peers.

Nguyen Bui Bao An, Mr. Long's daughter, happily said: "Mom works far away and only comes home on weekends, so my sisters and I proactively help Dad with the housework. Dad is very calm and quiet, but sometimes he surprises me with his thoughtfulness. For example, once while we were eating, he said, 'Your birthday is in a few days, Bao An, what would you like to eat? I'll buy it for you.' I was so surprised and happy. Usually, only Mom remembers the whole family's birthdays and takes the initiative to prepare everything. Now that Mom works far away, I didn't think Dad would remember my birthday. I love Dad and my family very much!"

A father's love is not loud or ostentatious, but it is always present in simple actions: a gentle reminder, a meal waiting for his child to come home, or simply being there when his child needs him. On Father's Day, the heartfelt stories of Mr. Duong, Mr. Long, and many other fathers serve as a warm reminder that a father's love is always a solid foundation, a silent but invaluable source of strength in every family.
