Today is known as father's day. This is the day set aside to remind all of us to remember their father in some way :). This is the day to give expression and appreciation, for the love and care we have received and are receiving, from our fathers. Knowing you care little for a lot of sentimental or emotional praise (like all fathers do), I will limit my words of praise by saying I have, in my life time, met and known many fine fathers, and have read about many great men , yet, I can truthfully say I am glad I am your daughter.
You have always been the tough one in the family and I would say a lot more tougher than my uncles as you are the eldest in the family. You practically justify your zodiac sign (LIBRA) where all your decisions and actions are very balanced. You always wanted me to be someone "Big" in life. I am really not sure if I have really achieved that so far but I am surely only kid, lucky enough to have my very own "Big" dad. You've always been my #1 fan, and believed in me even when I was a rebel or not achieving success at anything in particular. It seems that your faith in me has never wavered, which is both a surprise and a blessing. Even though you don't want to admit it, you and I are very similar. It is only now, as an adult, that I can truly acknowledge, verbalize and respect that realization.
I have always been a rebellion through out and in-spite of that you congratulated me on my freedom when I entered college. Not a single exam of mine, you wished me "All the best" but your actions did speak louder than words. When I would be getting my results, mom would be like all happy and excited but you would be just quite. I know that you would be all excited and happy but would not want to express the same!
Then came the day when I got married. Among all three sisters, if someone who was the closest to you was me. We shared many and many good moments together and I could see all fading away the day I got married. I just did not want to leave my home and start a new life. You gave me the strength and courage to go ahead and start a new life.
Dads are very special and I am proud to have you as my father and my inspiration.
Love you!!!
