A very long break. Few weeks now I have been having so many dwindling thoughts which all happened to be in completed write ups for posts. So many pre occupations, there was no killing deliberation for me to pick them all and finish it off. My little one mercifully granted me my personal time for a few hours, thanks to my hubby, they are now off for a drive!..
There was one write up which I wanted to do it at any cost, i started it off on the ‘Father’s day’, wanted to say a few words for my dear father for all that he did for us and gave all that he could. A short note on memoirs of time’s we shared and felt great..
Dear Dad, this is for you..
- I love the bright smile that you carried along and brought the same with whom ever you caught up for a chat.
- Love the way you made the ambience jubilant with little cracks..
- You were strict or I thought so, until I comprehended your lenience stepping in to college. Also that had been a blessing concealed to teach me my values what I pursue now.
- I am grateful to you for passing on your ‘Strength of mind’ and ‘Strength of will’ which has made me stand strong in tough times.
- I still remember the ‘apple cake’ and ‘kutti samosa’ which you brought us every week end. They don’t taste the same as it used to be like then, coz it is missing your love..
- I still pine for the thrill and enjoyment we had in festival purchases and dinner outside home.
- I wish to see that care in ensuring that I am given a princess treatment, oh I still remember the day when I had ventured to buy milk from the booth all by myself and the taunt that mummy got for allowing that, I understand now that you did not want me to take pains in doing those chores, but had thought as a control then and chided.
- I loved your down to earth attitude in sharing all the house hold errands from mom and your attitude to do them to perfection shines in me as well…
- I loved your morning Tea’s when you got up early and made them for all of us on most of the Sundays!!! The taste still lingers..
- I loved your persistence in showing your nurturing by riding us both in your cycle to our school until we got our cycles..
- I loved to see your face brimming with pride when the school teachers commended us on our performance. It was of course my driving force
- I revere your trust on us, I never informed about my outing to movies or shopping with friends when I was in college.
- I loved your acceptance for things when it involved some one’s efforts..
- Oh you were a great photographer, had a great collection of Music cassettes, treasured things even if it was so nitty gritty..
- I loved those discussions when we prepared the songs list for recording and sat together to listen to them all when we got it recorded. I don’t have that companion ship now…
The list just goes. This is not an ode of remembrance but a note of thankfulness for all that I have got from you. Thank you dad…
