We need men. We- mothers, daughters and sisters need men to
raise ourselves. Most important role of any men is of Father. And that the bond
of father-daughter shares is indescribable. I am not that type who would keep posting
pictures with dad on Facebook or WhatsApp. Even I won’t hug my dad just to wish
him Happy Father’s Day. And I might not want my dad to read this post also. So
here it goes; my feelings for my dad.
Dearest Dad,
You are the only man
in my life who loved me before I was even born. Loved me before I could open my
eyes or speak anything. I am now 22 but your love for me still remains intact.
I have always looked up to you, I want to become like you. Even as a child, I
loved your attention; running behind you everywhere. I still remember the day
when I changed my school, how you came till my classroom to drop me and ensured
that I had a place to sit and someone as a classmate to make me comfortable. I
still remember how those eyes were filled with pride when in every course, in
every test, pretty much in anything when I excelled. Today when I get upset
over my boss for talking in a harsh tone with me, I know you are always there
to listen to it and make me understand. You know I love you the most because every
time I met with an accident I was so afraid to call you, and when you would ask
me the reason, I would end up crying by seeing you. You have till now never
raised your voice when it comes to your daughter and that is I can easily share
everything with you. I am so proud of the fact that you respect my every
decision regarding studies or regarding marriage. You have never forced me for
something. All you wanted is me to get excelled in whatever I do in my life and
be independent to accomplish my own needs. On this day, I still remember the
days of your struggle still providing best education in best school to me. You
had to earn at age of 16 to survive and still you managed to get a degree on
your own terms. And today you are so successful. Still I hate it when you don’t
get yourself anything. And that is why even if once in a while you get yourself
a phone or a car we are so happy. Every son should learn from you how to take
care of his mother. I still know your endless sleepless night while grandmother
was sick. You are the best. And dad, I promise you one day that I would get you
a big car; would not let you pay for my weeding and under me you and mom would
live a comfortable life. At least you deserve these after providing me the best
education. Thank you isn’t enough for anything.
Yours loving daughter,
Pranjali
