Dear daddy,
four years back,
when mummy died. .
You were left alone to raise
a fourteen years old girl,
and suddenly,
you had to be mom and dad,both!
and since then,
you've been through my illness,arguements,
teenage problems, and all. . . .
you used to wake me up every morning for school,
and waited eagerly for me to return home safely. .
wheneven i got ill and informed you,
you came home running,just like a 'Mother',
and you always made some time to visit the
doctors for me,from your busy schedule. .
the days when you were away,you wrote letters to me,
so that the apple of your eyes stay close to you. . .
and you gave me money that I hadn't ask for,
as if you knew somehow, i needed it. .
you ate little,and even stayed hunger many nights,
so i don't need to cook again late at night. . .
you used to travel by public transport,
wore simple clothes and never wasted money. .
But for me,
there've always been plenty. . .
Dear Daddy,
I love it when you still give me instructions
while crossing the road,
and when you stop me from eating too much or too less
coz it's going to harm my health. .
I love it when you tell me something new about cooking,
and still teach me about how to eat 'fish' ,
I loved it when i brought our pets without your permission,
and still you accepted them calmly,no complain. .
I loved it when you came into my room,
sometime during my sleep and left chocolates
and my wrist watch by my pillow side. . .
it always touches me. .
i know i'm grown up, but you're the one who
Understands that i'm a child by heart, and i can make mistakes. .
and i'm still your 'little girl'. . .
Dear Daddy,
you raised me through thick and thin,
and i want you to know everything before angels could take you away from me. . .
my hopes and dreams has been built on your shoulders,
you've given me wings, you've given me chance to fly. .
what would be my world be like,
without you in it??
I would be lying if i say, I don't miss having you
around me all the time. . You're most influential person in my life. .
Dear Daddy,
you may not have done all the 'Mother' kind of things for me,
but you've done something more. .
you've made me 'ME',
you gave me faith,and most of all,
your unshakable belief in me. .
Your unconditional acceptance,
even when i didn't deserve it,
and Dad,i will never abuse your trust. . .
I feel proud to have such a dad,
you'll always be my support system,
I can truly say that
I'm the luckest daughter in the whole world. . .
And you're the best father. . .
"I LOVE YOU DAD"
-your loving daughter,
Rose Nanda.
