“Fun, Toys, Jokes, Protection”
“Guide”
“The most reliable person in my life”
“Will always be by my side, when I am in trouble”
“Cannot see tears in my eye?”
“Has made me who I am”
“Has taught me my life’s toughest, but the most important
lessons”
“Most simple straight forward person, my role model”
“My strength to face anything comes from him”
These are few of the impulsive answers that I got when I
posed the question, “What comes to your mind when you think of your father”.
Honestly father is
one role in our society that gets underplayed on the emotional scale as the
expressions that come to our mind when
we think of our father or any father are: like a rock, strong, strict, keeps me
in line, please don’t tell him as he will get mad…….
These emotions though may sound harsh are the ones that
truly keep us in check. From day zero
father is a hand that we hold that is synonymous with strength - a person who
carries us on his shoulders so that we never lose sight of our dreams, provider
– who makes sure all our wishes are fulfilled, guide – who bargains love to be the
toughest teacher so that we graduate well in our lives.
Today when I reflect I can’t stop wondering where does the
boy, who turns a father get all this strength from to live a life of
responsibility with full commitment and conviction and never ask for anything
in return other to make him proud……That’s the least that we can do for the
person who provides the wings for our dreams.
Plan a game of ball or go for a long drive or watch a game
together or take him out to his favourite joint, or a fishing trip or just simply
say thank you to the person who lives his life only to protect the happiness of
his child.
