This has been the first time that I have missed giving / sending a card to you on time. I can just be sad about it but I am not. I am happy. Happy because I am taking this effort to write this post for you.
I Love You, Ma and Pa
With each passing day I learn so much from you. I have seen in the past years how you have worked so hard to make me what I am today. And once again I question myself, hope I have kept your head held high. Hope I am today the person, you dreamt me to be.
Pa, you have so much of patience and I am amazed to see how at this age you can still manage to be so calm and composed. We kids tend to be agitated at small little things, and you still manage to hold the pillars of this house so strongly. Because of you we are all together, not physically but mentally. we are so close knit to each other that we still hold hands and support each other in good and bad times.
Pa, I try my best to be like you. Often, I do take a step back and calm myself in things that do not go as I intended/ planned them to be. Often, I do kick myself when I speak a lot and say speak only as much as you are required to. I still recall all the teachings you have given me. And above all, I have the big thing of being disciplined, being on time, being prim and proper all the time.
Love you papa for all that you have taught me.
Ma, as always we are just don't have a mother-daughter relationship, but as you say our hearts are connected. I am sorry, if I spoke or as you said did not speak with you. I just feel handicapped that I wish I could do something to make you smile. Make you feel happy for what you have. Ma, you only taught us to be strong and be driven by emotions. But, when I see you like this, I feel helpless. I am lost. I wish I come back soon and bring back the smile on your's and Pa's face. I wish I can erase all the troubles in your life. Ma your both daughters need you and want to learn from you. We are not that grown up that we can do things randomly, we still need your advice. Advice, not only in cooking, stitching, etc. but also in maintaining relationships, learning to keep relationships, learning to let go off relationships.
If I'm reborn again as a human, I would just pray to God to make me your daughter again. A daughter who can proudly say that she is your "Son". And yes Ritu if you are reading it, your sister again and that also a younger one so that I can continue bullying you.
Dearest Pa and Ma,
With all that you have given us,
With all that you have taught us,
With all that we have learnt from you,
I would say Thank You!
Wishing you a wonderful 45th anniversary
