To me, Dad is the hero for every child. Great poets and speakers talked great about motherhood but a father is great too... Mother teaches lessons and makes the child understand, she gets concerned if the kid doesn't get what she tries to teach, but a father doesn't even let the child know that he is teaching ! All that is taught by a father is by sharing experiences and examples.If mom tells you "be careful", dad tells you "take a chance and yet, stand strong".
If mom prays God for your well being, dad comes to your rescue and shares your painful moments.
If mom feels that "everything should be good for you", dad teaches you how to handle those bad situations.
I got to know that many parts of the world celebrate "Father's day" on the third Sunday of June. I don't seem to be lucky to celebrate 'coz it's been almost a year since my dad passed away.
My brother and I call my dad - "Boss" - the one who decides what's good for us. We miss those moments when we discussed everything that happened during our day at work and my dad used to map those to his experiences and provided valuable inputs. He told us to love the work you do, in other words - get attached to the work and not with the people nor the workplace, which I think is quite a practical advice.
My dad suffered from Cancer but never did he express pain during the time he was undergoing the "killing" therapies - for the reason not to let us down or panic. He showed us how to handle pain and be optimistic.
The only gift that one can give to his/her dad is to keep him happy during his old age. Realize that your (older) dad is your first kid and I sometimes feel lucky to have taken care of him during the treatment, served food as if he was a kid.
I fed my dad the night before he passed away and I remember his last words - "Have some food, everything is going to be okay... I will take rest for now" and my dad's soul rests in peace.
Remembering my father in every moment of my life ...
Following his principles in every walk of my life ....
