For Dad!

You must be wondering why I am writing to you now? You must be wondering why I haven’t remembered you for more than a minute in all these years, why I haven’t dreamt of you, why I haven’t shed a single tear after you were gone…

The answer is simple-and it is ‘Mom’! When you passed away, though little I was but my ears heard everything they said. They said…what she will do…a mother of three small children! They said…how she will survive…with three small children! They said…how she will work; she has no job at this time! They said…what will happen to them...within poverty and its stinging bite! They said…who will provide for them…a poor lady and her three small children! They said…a young lady…it’s so tough to do without her man…and they said many more things and their banter, I heard for a long time.

Today I tell them…the poor lady survived and so did her three small children. They aren’t small anymore neither poor. No angel touched their lives, nor did God take a look down, it was the will of that lady alone and now they have been seeing happier times. She worked hard, she worked day and night, she worked without stopping for a breath, she worked when she was ill and when there were dreaded times. She looked after the three, she send them to school, she made sure to pack their lunches even when she hadn’t a morsel anymore. She would cry alone at times but saw to it that the three never had a tear in the eye, in all the hard and rough times, all alone she did strife. She stood like a wall between troubles and her three yet she never forgot to tell them how to lead a life that was guilt-free. She loved them unselfishly like a mother, she cared for them like friends, she stood by them like dad and she taught them life’s lesson with a dedication of a teacher.

I am sure you know all the answers …I am sure you understand all of it by now, I am sure you know why I haven’t missed you much all these years…I am sure you are proud of her…your beautiful wife and our adorable mom!!!

#dedicated to my mother, yours and everyone’s!!!

A Letter to my Angel!

Other men said they have seen angels,
but I have seen thee
and thou art enough.
~ G. Moore ~

Dear Angel,

When I looked up in the dictionary to find the meaning of ‘angel’, I found these definitions-

· ‘a spiritual being superior to humans in power and intelligence’;

· ‘an attendant spirit or guardian’,

· ‘a person like an angel (as in looks or behavior),

· ‘one (as a backer of a theatrical venture) who aids or supports with money or influence’.

I think that you, my angel, is all of the above, yet your simplicity and down to earth attitude is what charms me the most. You have been so affectionate towards me and I wanna thank you for that. You have been my ‘umbrella’ and provided me with all security in this world. You have been unselfishly loyal and benevolently concerned about my well being and good. All in all, you have not only inspired me but also motivated me to do my best and follow my heart. You have given my confidence back and instilled the faith once again in me. And in return of all of this, you have never asked for anything in return…Definitely you are my angel!

I am just another girl and don’t have the wits and patience to match yours but all I can promise is all my care with all my heart. You are the personification of love for me and I adore you. I admire your optimistic outlook instead of all that you have been through. There are times when I behave irresponsibly, when I act awkward but your calm responses make me realize my felony. You so understand me that I not only rely on you but at times I even don’t need to utter a word. They say, artists are beautiful people but after knowing you I am sure of that.

I have told you this a lot many times before, but again I want to tell you-

"I love you my angel!"
