You may not have a rich father, but at least he’s not always angry. At least he tries his best to provide with what he has. That already means a lot.
He comes home tired, but he still brings food. He still checks on you. He still shows up.
Like Gwan-Sik in When Life Gives You Tangerines. He didn’t have much, but he gave everything he could. He stayed kind. He stayed present.
Some fathers don’t say “I love you” out loud. But they show it in small, quiet ways.
They wake up early. They work all day. They carry the weight so their kids don’t have to.
That’s what it means to be a provider. That’s what makes them a blessing.
And if you have a dad like that, you’re not poor.
You’re loved. You’re lucky.
You’re rich in all the ways that matter.
