London, June 20(IANS) US President Barack Obama has written a letter for his daughters on the occasion of Father’s Day Sunday, saying that he could not be a perfect father.
“I know I have been an imperfect father. I know I have made mistakes,” said Obama in the letter that will be published in a magazine reported people.com
“I drove Michelle and newborn Malia home from the hospital nearly 11 years ago and I think about the pledge I made to her that I would give her what I never had. And that if I could be anything in life, I would be a good father,” he added.
Obama has two daughters Malia,10, and Sasha, eight.

As Obama said “Any fool can have a child. That doesn’t make you a father. It’s the courage to raise a child that makes you a father.” How true. Being a father is a job, a great job. there is a related post at http://iamsoannoyed.com/?p=1878
