They say, behind every great man, is a woman. But it would be interesting to know, how many great women have had great fathers and husbands behind them.

Father, husband, son, uncle, brother, friend or Prince Charming; they have played every role in our lives. They help you fight your insecurities and fears and try every bit of their strength to love and understand you (It is not easy to understand a woman, BTW).
