Most fathers understand that the commitment and dedication required to be a parent and to raise children is a whole different world from merely having children. Those who don't, cheat their children out of their future and cheat themselves out of their children's love. So, what do fathers do? I would argue that there is little difference between the work that a mother does and the work that a father does. A father nurtures his children in a different manner from a mother, but children need both. He plays an important role in the physical, social, intellectual and spiritual needs of children. Whether making repairs, paying bills, buying food and clothes, or helping children to feel secure, a father provides the elements that children need in their lives to stay happy and healthy. He is there when children need someone to talk with about their ideas, feelings, and problems. He encourages them, works with them, and compliments them on their achievements. Like any other father, I have heard and responded to all of those familiar requests. Hey Tato, can you drive me to the game? Hey Tato, can you help me with my project? Hey Tato, can you fix my bike? And the ever popular Hey Tato, can I borrow the car? From trying to play soccer and hockey to playing mean old Gargamel chasing Smurfette, I've evolved into lending a hand with homework that has out-paced my knowledge. No matter how tired I may be, I am always ready to respond to whatever the concern is at the moment. I listen to their hopes, dreams, desires, and fears when they need someone to talk with. I want them to know I will always be there, standing behind them no matter what happens in their lives. Looking back over the years, over all the good times and the bad times, I know that being a father is not an easy job, in fact, it's more demanding than the toughest boss, but it brings more joy to me than any executive position ever could. We, as a society, should redefine what we now call fathering. We need to reaffirm the role that fathers play in the home, not just where they work. To fathers, children are the most important work in life. So to all the fathers out there - Happy Father’s Day - you’ve earned it, Tato! IN T A T O 'S C A R . by TSC To Lehighton for barabolya, to visit Marta, Lesia, Olya, to Dr. Rybachok for shots, to Vovcha Tropa with our cots. To Wildwood with a beach umbrella, three hours or more of a capella whining from the back: I went a drink, I want a snack, are we there yet? To the museum, to the zoo to Glen Spey and to Suzy-Q To the dentist, to the store to akademias galore To choir practice and the pool, piano lessons, Ukie school To iceskating and volleyball, then to the airport and the mall. Never a grumble, never a groan But always glad when you got home, and never telling us how much we cost in gas and tolls and such. DIAKUYEMO! ERRATA. In the April 1999 issue, English language caption of illustration on page 4, Sokil should be Sokal. Captions on top of page 17 should read: "Excerpt from O. Teliha's 'Vechimia Pisnia'..." and "Excerpt from O. Liaturynska ..." We regret the errors. НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЧЕРВЕНЬ 1999 19
