“To
a father growing old, nothing is dearer than a daughter”___
(Euripides)
Now
that the time is passing, I can feel and observe this quote more than ever. But
I believe I need you much more than you will ever need me. Where do I start
from papa? You know I am not good at expressing myself and no matter how much I
care about people who are closer to me; I still find it hard to express my
feelings for them. I find it hard to tell you what you mean to me and how much I
value you, that is why I am writing this until I’ll find the courage to express
my feelings to you directly.
When
I was young, I thought I am more close to mama as she keeps my secrets and I can
watch movies, listens to songs and can talk to anybody freely in her presence
without any hesitation but as the time goes by, and your anni became a bit wiser
and have started to look at things from different perspectives, I could say
this without a doubt that there is no one in this world whom I adore and love
more than you. I mean I love mama and my siblings to the moon and back but my
love for you is somehow a little more than them ;)
In
all the years, you gave me so much that will remain with me until my last
breath. Often my friends talked about how their lives would have been better if
they were born as a boy, but papa this thought never came across my mind even
once because you gave me so much love that your boys often feel that you love
your daughters more than them which is true I guess :p
You
started giving me responsibilities from a young age, you taught me how to do AC
Service by myself, how to change oil of Generator, how to start the generator
if the key is not working due to any reason. You always involve me whenever you
are taking any decision or looking for a property or any other thing and always
consider my opinions. You are the one who gives me courage and always helps me
to push my boundaries and do what makes me happy. I know at one point when
things were not working for me, when after all the efforts I couldn’t manage to
go abroad for study, you never discouraged me even once and let me tried as
many times as I wanted to. It was only because of you that I managed to passed
my ielts exam without knowing much about it within 7 days with great scores
because you were consistent k nhi tm ne dena hi dena hei. Nhi hoga toh mere
paisay lgein gy nah tmhe kya hei, is se tmhe experience milay ga and you will
be able to perform better next time. The list of such examples can go on and on
but i am saving them for the future and you never know, maybe I will find the
courage to say it directly to you without using this medium.
Sometimes
I wonder how someone can be so giving without expecting anything in return. You
are the one whom I like to impress the most, likes to cook delicious foods for,
and whose praise matters to me more than anyone. You taught me the value of
relationships, the value of family and the value of hard work. You are my true
life hero and no matter how old I am and will be, I will always be your little
girl. One last thing, 2 weeks ago when you told me in front of everyone that I am
your number 1 child in every matter, that one sentence makes me the happiest
girl on this planet. I wish I can do a lot for you because you truly deserve it.
As a Muslim, we don’t believe in more than one life but on the Day of Judgment,
I will proudly tell Allah how well you raised me, how secure and safe I felt around you
and how you sacrificed your whole life for us. Thank you for everything papa,
you truly means the world to me.
