Dear Papa,
Its been soooo many years since I first played in your arms,but the memory is still strong.
I remember every moment with you since they were the happiest and most precious
I remember falling asleep in you lap and you picking me up and putting me to bed,u'd say goodnight and kiss my forehead.
I remember you clapping & laughing ,every time I sang the nursery rhyme ,and i sang them atleast a 1000 times.
Hanging from your shoulders pretending you were the jungle gym ,fighting with neha so that I could get the seat next to you where you sit...
I still remember your hug was the safest place in the world for me ,
How we would come to you when we broke something before mom came to know.
Did you know the only person in the world who could tickle me is you ?
I remember waiting by the window to be the first on to greet you when you came back home
Missing you so much when you went out for work ,looking at you pictures till you returned...
Really believing that you were stronger than Superman (actually I still do )
I remember I never had to wait for a thing i wanted,even if mom said no, you always fell for the face :)
What I don't remember is "how you made it happen?"
Your smile,kindest eyes, honest expression and warmest heart ...How did you keep it all, going thru this rough world?How come you never let us feel any of the hurdles you faced? both of you stood between the world and us ....
I am married now and will soon have children of my own , dad,if my child feels half of what I feel for you, I would consider myself to be a successful parent.
Thank you Dad for giving me a lifetime of memories....Happy Fathers Day.....My Hero....Love you.
Yours LiL Girl
