THE FIRST MAN OF MY LIFE

This post is written by my dear friend who goes by pen name SHREE.

First time, he holds you, a promise is made, for a man to change. A commitment he has never given before. To be always there for you. He knows the next part of his life is going to be tough. Each day he will be facing his back against the sun. But he's never going to complain. He'll just smile, making it seem like it's all fun.

When you open your eyes, you see the world and in that world you'll encounter your very FIRST MAN, in your life. And slowly he will become your hero. You will think being a man is so worthy and so tough.

He becomes the rock you lean on, making sure all his jagged edges are chiseled to Smoothness for you to lie with comfort.

 He becomes the Ladder for you to step on, so that you catch those dreams nestled high up in the sky.

 He becomes your biggest admirer , dancing in glory for all your victories. When circumstances shove you, he steps in front of the world, shielding you from things you ain't ready for.

We have the habit of taking him for granted, overlooking his efforts, not realizing, that only this man, in your corner, helps you to shape your life. Like a candle, he enlightens the whole family by burning himself. He is losing time, he is losing himself for building you, for building your dreams.

Yes, he isn't good at expressing...!

Those unsaid feelings , unexposed emotions have much to say.

Go hug him, before it's too late. Go spend time with him, talk to him, share your feelings. Go ring him up, text him, ping him and express your all hidden feelings that how much you miss him, how much you love him, how much he matters to you, how blessed you are to have him by your side.

 Have a conversation with him every evening on a random topics with a cup of tea and Marigold biscuits on top.

Crack jokes , Laugh louder...laugh along with him.



You know what I used to do, when I was 12 yrs old?

Whenever it was hard for him, I just tapped on his shoulder and say, everything will be okey Papa, don't worry, I am with you always.

On this, he, in turn, used to smile back and swivel his hand over my head. And this relaxed "BOTH OF US".

Whether I am 12 or 21 , I won't change, I won't leave him alone, I will still hold him and tap the same way on his shoulder the way I used to do. Although I know, My contribution won't be enough for him to tackle the problem but yet I will do whatever, I can.

So, just make him feel that yes you are there, like he is always there for you. Just stand along with him, fight with every situation and face the storm although you know that you don't have enough strength to withstand the storm, but at the same time you know your "MAN" won't let anything Happen to you.

Go give him a hug , For he has nothing to gain, except your Love. Trust me, your biggest pain & sorrows will be vanished with a blink of eyes & you'll be relaxed. And the moment that you have just encountered, will soothe your soul and trench your heart & will be priceless.

The only difference of being a Mother and Father is:
Mother nurtures you from her blood for a period of 9 months while Father nurtures you with his sweat and blood for his entire Life.

So a Father's role is never less than a Mother.

Don't question his Sacrifices....!

The promise that he made still holds true.

He is THE FATHER , THE HERO, THE MAN Who will always come through.
