My dad is the best dad in the world!
"Whatever good I am having/enjoying today is all because of my mom and dad"
-I am making the above statement without any doubt.
Using this post i am trying to thank my parents(Thanks to Blogger for giving me this opportunity)
Sometimes I really wonder how they have done so many sacrifices, faced these many difficulties, taken so many risks for our happiness and bright future. Whatever be the situation at home, they have never said a NO to anything which makes us happy or which helps us for our future and did more than their best for it.
Whenever my mother used to give us bulk part of her share of any sweet/hot, I always used to think she dislikes eating all those. Just recently I understood the correct reason is to just keep us happy. Doing it for one day or one week or one month is easier but I just wonder how is she continuously doing it from past 24+ years and still continuing it :-),,,,,,,,,
I will try to list out some of the things they've done for us: [I'm sure I am missing many many many more than listed here]
- (1) Twenty years back they have moved from our native to a town just for the sake of our studies. They were having a nicely running business, own bungalow, agriculture lands in our native which is a village and they left all those as they've correctly thought it will not help our studies. I can actually prove how correct their decision was showing how many people are presently struggling to settle in their lives with whom i used to study there. Thanks mom and dad.
- I still remember that until I was in third or fourth class she used to keep us slip tests at home regularly.
- Once I lost my classwork before the the annual exams. She brought my friend's book and wrote the complete book for me.
- Even my grades show that until I was under my mother they were much better than I got after that.
- Even while doing my graduation when I just got 36 marks[PASS Mark :-(] in first year Chemistry, my first thought was how should i say that to my mom :-)
- Both my mom and dad always used to tell us the value of education and how bright our future can be if we studied well.
- Our father is having garments business. I was going to shop to help my father whenever I was free. But he always made sure i was never attracted to the business and he always used to tell me it was not my destination. It would have really helped my father and given him a lot of rest if I had joined the business but he never thought that way.
- All the above doesn't mean our parents were really strict or we never had any enjoyment. Actually we had never never felt that they were strict/hard or anything. We were enjoying lots of TV/movies/games/trips,,,etc. But they had balanced everything and made sure we missed nothing in our childhood.
- To extend the above point, i don't even remember exactly the last time my father has beaten me. I think it was before third or second class. And I don't remember at all of my mother beating me :-). I should really really appreciate their patience.
(2) My mom knew the value of education and she made sure from our childhood itself that we were on the right track in studies:
(3) Until I joined my graduation, I was regularly having health problems. Sometimes really major ones and sometimes minor ones. But I was always able to recover from them only with the help of my parents. They used to spend huge amounts on my treatment and patiently take care of me. Thanks mom and dad.
(4) While doing my graduation I think in the middle of my third year, six of us planned a 3-4 days tour to Bangalore-Mysore. I called my dad and asked for money and I immediately got them and enjoyed the tour. But only later I came to know that the financial position was not that good in my home at that time and still they've not even asked me to cancel/postpone my trip. Also, in third year summer holidays, I've asked my dad that I will go for GATE Coaching in hyderabad. Again independent of the difficulties he was having then, he has not even given it a second thought. These are just two of the many incidents where they made sure we were never disappointed. Thanks mom and dad.
(5) Even after I have started doing a job, most of the prayers/poojas my mom does are for my career. This shows that they will never stop caring for us. Thanks mom and dad.
(6) Before we were born, both my mom and dad used to enjoy the life greatly. Like my father has toured almost all the places in India, they used watch lots and lots of movies and sometimes two movies on a single day,,,etc. But they've sacrificed all of those just for our sake. Thanks mom and dad.
As said previously I have just listed very few things about my parents here and they have done lot more lot more things for me/us. Blogger.com can't provide enough memory to list out all of those :-).
Except around their first twenty years of life we were their only world. They have always thought about our happiness, our wishes, our future, our health, our comfort,,,,,,
I would like to thank GOD for giving me such wonderful parents and family. And I would say I am the luckiest person in this regard :-).
I once again Thank you mom and dad.
