Dear Dad,

Thank you,
For being my real time source of inspiration.

Whenever I tend to lose hope,
I remember you taking leave from office just to take care of Dadaji.
Whenever I feel like giving up,
I remember you taking care of each and every little wish of ours.
Whenever I feel that life is unfair,
I remember how you never differentiated between me and my brothers.
Whenever I feel lost,
I remember how you used to tell me, "Beta, pray."
Whenever I feel like you don't care about me,
I remember how you had hugged me tightly at the time of your accident when I came back from Bangalore.
Whenever I feel the burden of responsibilities approaching towards me as I'm growing up,
I remember how you handled the needs of all the 6 members of the family, amongst all the chaos, sacrificing your own happiness.
Today,
I can see,
Your success screaming,
And I feel proud,
Proud to be your daughter,
For because of you,
Because of your efforts,
Because of your faith in me,
I'm standing over here.
"You should be proud to have such a father",
These words never made sense to me,
Though many tried to,
But today,
When I'm seeing actual life,
I actually feel proud to be YOUR child,
For you've proven,
Nothing is impossible.
