A Letter To Dad

Dear Daddy,

Though you were never as vocal as mom in telling how much you love me, you made me feel your love in million ways throughout all my life.

Now it’s time for me to tell you, how much you mean to me. I was wondering, why don’t I thank you for the help and support you give me. Later, I realized if I start thanking you, then I should keep thanking you for every second I breath.

You taught me, how to be a good human being, how to be sensitive and strong both at the same time, how to care for others without expecting anything in return (which I am still trying to learn, as I don’t have a golden heart like you do).

Yes, it’s your responsibility to take care of your children, but you are an extraordinary father who goes way out of his comfort and protect us. We know sometimes the way you care goes little extreme and many think it is pointless. But not for me, all I can see is how much your heart beats for us.

Many times, you give up and hide your pain just to keep me happy. I know how difficult it was for you to send me away from you for my career.

You gave me much more than a daughter could ever articulate. When someone asks me, "who is your father?" You have no idea, how proud my heart is to tell your name.

Unfortunately being a daughter in this society there might come a day and it is inevitable for me to leave our family, no matter what remember that you will always get a phone call asking for your permission, a call asking for your advice, a call asking for help, and a call if I want to start anything new. And I know you will never treat me like I belong to a different family.

Thanks for giving me such a beautiful childhood,
Thanks for protecting me like I am precious,
Thanks for giving me priority and importance above everyone else.
Thanks for letting me know that education is beyond books.

For me, you are always right, always perfect, always the most important person of my life.
I love you so much and you mean world to me.
Your loving Daughter!
