When I have a good news the first person comes into my thoughts is my father. He is the only first person I tell when I get a good news. Unlike other parents in my country, I think my father has a sort of knowledge about parenting. Like other parents they usually put restrictions on girls and my father is the opposite, he never tells me or orders me around. Well, my father is also my best friend. Whenever something good happens in my life, I only think of my father and no one else. I share every bad and good news with him. For an example, it could be good grades, small goals or about receiving an opportunity, I always talk to my father at first.
I have my valid reasons for sharing it to him at first because I trust my father a lot. I used to keep secrets from him before, but now I never keep any secrets from him. On the other hand, I usually keep my good news a secret from everyone else. I have a thing like, if I share my good news before it gets successful then it doesn't happen anymore, it gets jinxed so it is just a personal belief that if I tell too many people about something before it happens, the chances of success rate may decrease. Because of this, I prefer to stay quiet and wait until everything is successful. So, my father is the only person who will know everything about my plans and all. I share the good news with other people when it's successful. However, my dad is the only exception. No matter what the news is, I will always tell him.
Our relationship was not always like this, before there were many misunderstandings between us. I was not expressive before and my father couldn't understand me that much. Moreover, we could not understand each other's opinions. But as time passed and I grew up, I started to share my true feelings with my father and closed the distant from one another. We both have learned to communicate better. My father is from a different generation but he never judged me or tried to change me. He knows I have changed a lot than before and he has accepted me completely the way I am. Slowly, our relationship became stronger. Today, I have a very special bond with my father.
My father is the only person that I trust the most, I know he will never break my trust. Instead, he will try to protect it at any cost. My father is very supportive towards me and gives me advice about life. So, I never feel bad about it, I am truly happy in life. My Father's support means a lot to me.
I believe, I am also one of the first people my father shares his good news with. Even if it's not hundred percentage true, yet I don't feel it's heartbreaking or saddening. My father already made me feel secured about my place in his life after my mother, so I feel trusted and important. It shows that our relationship goes both ways. He may have many people in his life and it's his personal decision who he would like to share with. I have no right to feel bad about it.
Anyway, I would also try to understand that my father has different comfort level with different people so, it's not a big deal. In my case, sharing good news with my dad makes every happy moment even more special because he is the person I trust the most.
