Our first hero

So, every building has pillars for support, so does every house has its support system which is strong and reliable. So much that we have relied on Dad for everything, from decision making to taking bold steps. He is the doctor of the family, he is the ones who gets the daily vegetable marketing done and at times decides on which dish to be cooked.

With time however, with age however, some of the physical strength diminishes. It's painful too see him limp a little while his mental strength makes him run. That scene almost brings a tear to the eye,

It's he who we look forward to when our noses run, when our eyes are watery or our throats itch but when the pain in his leg makes him run from here to there for that one magic dose which will kill the pain, it almost brings a tear to the eye.

He has been practical, he knows the cycle of life, he knows people come and go, he knows certain relationships are for some season while some relations will last a life time, But when I see him remembering our old dog, Bruno, when I see him hide his tears, it almost brings a tear to the eye.

I just want to hide that tear of mine now, and try to him a smile.

No Father's day gift, No Daughter's day gift, just stay by my side, Baba, always!
