12 Father Daughter Illustrations That’ll Leave You Emotional And Inspired At The Same Time

The relationship between a father and daughter is just beyond words. In the world full of evils, there is only one person a girl can trust: Her father! He would fight all odds for her and makes sure that his little daughter gets everything that a man gets in this society.

Debasmita is one of those who believes that art can bring positivity and her project My Fathers Illustrations stands out to support and reach such fathers who have inspired their daughters and protected their rights.

No one will fight your battles for you, but your father will tell you things that will help you get through every situation in life. Daughters are always close to their fathers and it is because they feel protected.

Let your attitude be contagious. That is what my father used to tell me since I was a little girl and that has made me what I am today. Feel free to share your father daughter stories in the comments below.
