** Every girl adores her Father and I am no exception. 27 long years have passed by ... yet, a daughter never ever forgets her father, who has always been her guide through life. Girls are always the apple of fathers eyes, as he dotes on them ... A father may never demonstrate his love like a mother does, but he does take care of her every need, he always guides you through life with love, support, affection and gives you that stability in life, which every child craves for. He actually makes you strong for the coming tomorrows in life and that is where I get my strength from ...
** I will always miss Aanu (my Dad), his voice, his advice which still rings in my ears and sometimes I do get the feeling that he is somewhere close by taking care of me ... Things are not the same, everything has changed with time, there is no one to protect like he did anymore, I try to walk on the path he chalked out for me, but it’s not easy ... but I also do know that he is always there around, now playing the role of an angel, protecting me from heaven above, his now abode ... days pass by and with every birthday that collides with Christmas memories just keep rushing in …
** My Aanu was the best Dad; he was a softy who tried his best to look stern but failed miserably. If I could just turn back the clock or speak to him just one more little time, I would tell him that he will be my only choice to have as “My Aanu (Dad)” all over again in all my lives’ if there is any more ... Life moves on, memories stay on and that’s what makes this world such a beautiful place to live in. Thank You Dad for making me whatever I am today, I hope to never let you down on any of your stands taken in life for me ... Love you Dad ... I am 60 yrs old but will always be your Little Girl ... Manna.
