Hero of my life

"A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.''

-Joseph Campbell

There has been only one hero in my life, whom I admire. The hero of my life is my best friend i.e. my father. He has been a hero in all walks of my life right from my existence to what I am now.

When I was a child, you made me learn new things through love than cane. Every toy you gifted me was like a new petal in my blooming life. Holding your hands and walking on the streets made me feel that nothing bad is going to happen as you are there to prevent it from happening. Every journey with you througout my life has been a learning experience. You take care of me when I am sad as well as when I am happy. You are there to share my happiness and sorrows. You have loved me more than I can ever wish for. You hid your feelings to share my happiness. You smile at me even when I can see the pain in your heart. You stood strong even when unfortunate incidents took place in our lives. You have brought a special meaning in my life to the term father.

F - You are my best friend with whom I could talk about anything under the sky.

A- Affectionate as a mother bird who protects its baby from any attack on its new born.

T- Trustworthy as a person whom I could share any secrets of my life.

H- Humble and down to earth for the person you are.

E- Effective as a leader to his group of followers.

R- Treating every person with Respect.

Though I have changed over the years, you still continue to remain the same person. You have treated me with never ending love and continous support over the years. Dad, though I do not posess all your qualities. I am happy to say that I have been lucky to have been born as your son and I can still go out there and argue tirelessly with any other child and say with pride that 'MY DADDY IS THE BEST'. Dad times have passed, but my love for you is endless and you will continue to remain as HERO of my life till I depart.

Miss you more than ever

"Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,But only one mother the wide world over."

-George Cooper

Amma, you were my shining light of my life. Thirteen years ago when you decided to go to the heaven, you left me stranded! Not knowing where you had gone at that point I continued to live, but as days passed by I started to feel a void in my life. Do you know what it is? It is you Ma. I just prayed that you where with me forever for me to share with you stories of events that happened with me during a day at class or about my best friends, lecturers, feelings, dreams, etc. I envy every child who gets to do all of this with their mother and hate every one of them who do not respect nor understand their mothers. I envy all the children who have their mothers alongside them, to take care of them when they are sick or in pain.

Amma, you left a lot more people than me. Achan, the only person whom I adore alongside you has been living a life with his feelings kept within himself just to see me and chech grow. Amma, wish you were here with him, so that I can see you and him being happy forever. Fate decided to take you away from us to a far far away place.

Amma, I miss you more than ever these days. I miss a person in my life whom I can share my feelings. You are the only one whom I can share it with. My happiness and sorrows, are kept within my heart. Whom do I share it with, Amma? If God ever comes up in front of me asking for a wish, my only wish would me 'TO BRING YOU BACK TO ME'. No one can fill your place in my heart. It is just you, Amma.

I pray to God, that in my next birth I am born as your son again and get to live with you till I die.
