This is the first time I am writing a birthday post, and the very first one is for the only man in my Life, To my dearest Dad.
Dear Dad,
So Its an half century this time. You have turned fifty, or two more days to go.Come 27 th and you are 50. For I cant believe you are Fifty , For me you have always been the most young and handsome man on Earth. I have told you a number of times, Am very jealous of Amma. She is the luckiest woman on the Earth .
Fifty years was no cakewalk for you, For you have always inspired me with your ' keep it going' attitude in Life , in spite of the number of hurdles you have faced.
After losing your dad, when you were five, you almost took the responsibility of the entire family. 'Five', imagine, I couldn't even spell my name correctly by then, and you would manage an entire family's responsibility .
Be it completing your studies and alongside earning a living for a family , You have never complained about life.
You have been the best son . Till last moment, you took utmost care of your mother, And I still remember, first ever time in my life, I felt weak, in your presence, At that moment you burst out crying over Grandma's face, when she passed away. Till then I could control my tears, but then I realized the most strong and determined man I have ever seen is still a crying Kid when his mother departs.
You have been the best husband ,As I said I always Envy Amma. Be it waking up all night when shes ill, or Arranging a midnight hour birthday party for her, I have seen the worry in your eyes every time she gets ill, and the love that clearly comes out for her, Every time she gets stressed up, All that she need is your presence , and Alas , I believe you are the best couple on Earth
You are the best Father on Earth and in that case I am the luckiest. Everyday Its your wake up call that starts my day and every night your the last to wish me good night. Every time I stay awake late night during exams , You make me that special black coffee, Lots of special things between us, the special birthday kiss, the special chit chats, the special scooty ride, the special cooking days. You make our home a special place to live in.
You have never let me feel low, every time amma scolds me, you give me that special smile and the "ITs ok" from you is all that I need to get rid of the tears.She always blames you for the extra pampering or in amma's words, your love that spoils me, And I do proudly say I am my daddy's girl.
You have been the perfect Daddy, Just like you always take care of our needs, you are the first one to know If I fall ill, n the way you never tell anyone if you are not keeping well, When you badly search for the tablets and mess everything up, we ultimately end up guessing dad's got some health issues.
You have never let us know any difficulty in life, You are not the one among those Daddys who has this I am so serious attitude and always stay hooked up to News channels, For You are the one who is like " give me a high five, Its Our favorite movie today" type of Dad.
You have always been very transparent with me, for every time I am into some tension, Daddy , you are the first person I would lookout for help. I remember when I was eve teased for the first time in life and later you found out those guys and made them apologize to me .
Lots of memories, Lots of love attached with you. Fifty years ,dad, You are best gift of my life, As you once said on my birthday. I know you do read my blogs even though you don't let me know that. And I am hundred percent sure, you have that awsum smile on your face now on this surprise post.
Happy Birthday . I love you .
