Tribute to Dad!

email

Before the sun rises you wake up and then wake me up. I love you for that. Whenever I fall, you are there to support me. I love you for that. You are the one with big heart and is the gift which God has given. I love you for that. Every sacrifice you make to make our family happy, I love you for that. There are times when I want to say how much I love you for being such a loving father, but cannot. I love you Dad! We are sure most of you feel the same for your dad but have not been able to say it. Here is an opportunity to express what you have in your heart for your dad. On the eve of Father’s day, we present to you ‘Tribute to Dad’ contest.

BlogAdda, in partnership with PringOO, is proud to announce this week’s contest called ‘Tribute to Dad’.

  • Write tribute to your dad on your blog. Express what you always wanted to tell and were looking for the moment to do it. Here is the chance and a different way to make your Dad happy this father’s day.
  • Choose a gift for your dad from Pringoo.com and incorporate that in your blogpost..
  • Add a Link in your blog post, mentioning this BlogAdda contest announcement AND leave a comment here (stating the link to your post), so we know for sure, that you are participating.
  • In case of any discrepancies, the decision of the judge(s) will be final.

The contest runs an entire week, starting Wednesday Jun 16, ’10 and ends on Tuesday, Jun 22, ’10, 11:59 pm IST. Hurry Up!

Results will be announced on the BlogAdda website by Friday, Jun 25, ’10.

And here’s the most interesting part, the TOP THREE winning entries can choose personalized goodies (T-Shirt/Mug) from Pringoo.com

    neither I nor anyone can be capable of expressing contributions or greatness of a father.it is a father who is mainly responsible of ours beingness/survival on this earth.
    without a father & amother we can never dream of coming on this earth.it goes withot saying the significance of a father who supports his spouses right from childhood to the last breathe of our life.we cannot express his greatness in words & sentences,we can feel it with our sensuary nervous system.our hearts can feel it but brain can only try to
    express it.my heartist love & sincer gratututeness to my father.

    At the outset apology to my daughter for the delay.Infact I suddenly became young after reading the article on father’s day.

    What about photocopying of several pages of your books and you taking away coins from my purse.Maybe it is for next father’s day!

    By the way is there a daughter’s day?
    Well I am happy my daughter is a great writer.Wish you good luck on your literary aspirations.

    my late father might be in happier & blessing mood to see that his son is capable of
    contributing tributes to his father on the father’s contest. we canot explain in words & sentences the contributions of our dad who sacrifices all his happiness just for a smile on the face of his son which gives boundless pleasure to him & a little cry of his son gives him fathomless pain & take all possible steps to get him silenced & smiled.
    crores & crores pranam to my late pitaji hoping for his never ending blessings showreing upon me from his heavenly dwellings.
