What my father taught me about being a champion….

“A special message to a father, from a daughter!”

Today every family celebrates Father’s Day! Why do we celebrate our Father’s once a year? I grew up in the culture where our father’s day was not celebrated in June..Growing up in Russia Father’s day was more of military holiday where we celebrate all men including fathers who served in war, army and… It was not a family holiday at ALL.

I remember my dad teaching me skiing, figure skating, first time fishing and today I wanted to say thank you  to him and all fathers in America  HAPPY DADDY’s Day!  Being a father is HONOR!  Today I am a mom of two sons and I am proud to say that my boys have the best dad ever!

Family is about fathers! Families needs fathers who are leaders. Wives need strong men to be great fathers!  Little girls need their knight, their daddy to protect them and care for them! Little boys want a father to play superheroes with and play in the park…

Fathers teach us more than we think…

1. They teach girls how to be tough but still feel like a princess

2. They teach boys how to cry while nobody watching

3. They teach their sons to be a gentleman and care for a mom

4. They teach kids how to love and care.

5. They teach kids how to never give up and deal with  bullies.

6. They learn to  be a tooth fairy for the first time ever and they care less if the tooth fairy is male gender. The moments are priceless.

The lesson I learned is that in my business I can be still a woman and never try to fit in a man’s world. My daddy taught me how to jump into the cold river water without knowing how to swim and how quickly I discovered a burning desire to survive. He taught me to laugh at my own failures when I fell down on ice, learning to figure skate like a bird… I learned fast that I could not be something that I was not destined to be…. I had my OWN PURPOSE. I learned to grieve and cry my heart out when things were tough…

And my father was there to comfort me in his ways that I often did not understand..

My father was a figure skater… He had a dream of being more… He could not fulfill his dreams of being better and bigger at what he wanted to do…

But…

He became a GREAT dad..Stern at occasions, funny and spoiling his little princess.  He allowed me to chase my dream of coming to US and creating a new life. Was it easy for him? Nope… He cried when he thought I did not see.  He wrote me letters with his bad handwriting because he believed it was more personal.  He encouraged me to be ME, a champion that he saw in me.

He taught me what it takes to be a CHAMPION!  He taught me about the role of a father in the family, even though he was not perfect, but that is okay…Today I want to say thank you to all FATHERS! Some fathers are too scared to be a father because they want to be perfect… Being a father is a gift. Enjoy it and love every moment..

  1. Hi Tatyana,

    The above was a wonderful tribute to your father and to the father of your children. I am glad to have met and shared meals with your Father and Mother. They are wonderful people. I love them both. Also, I am very happy to know and love your husband. You have a super family.
