A Letter To Dad.

Dear Papa,

It's your birthday today and i don't know whether to celebrate or mourn about the fact that you are no more with us.

You've always taught me to celebrate life no matter how hard it gets, but when you left, you forgot to teach me how to cope up when life will become miserable without you. Last night when clock was about to hit 12, suddenly i felt like I'm surrounded by the air of melancholy. By the time it was 12, tears rolled down my face and i started getting flashback of all your past birthdays and memories down the lane. I remember, even my tiny little surprises never failed to bring priceless smile on your face.

You taught me how to stand strong alone (little did i know that you are always there standing behind me no matter what). Now things have changed, you are not here anymore but I'm trying my best to still stand strong because i have been raised by two most incredibly strong and beautiful souls. I'll never let any of yours and mumma's teaching go in vain.

On your birthday, i promise I'll always fight back like a warrior no matter what life throws my way, no matter how unfair it may seem. I promise to always celebrate life. I promise, I'll work hard and will never settle down for anything less than what i deserve. One thing i can't promise but, I'll try not to skip my dinner.

I miss your smile, i miss your words of endearment, i miss you hugs, i miss your love, I MISS YOU. On your birthday all i wish and pray for is that wherever you are, wherever you will go, Aap humesha khush raho.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAA. ❤
