Remembering Dad
I remember you Dad, when you carried me on your shoulders each time, I refused to walk.
I remember you Dad, when you bought things and waited for me and Sandy to fight over what belonged to each, despite the fact that each item was bought in identical pairs.
I remember you Dad for all the rhyming jokes you cracked.
I remember you Dad for all the hindi songs you sang.
I remember you Dad for your incessant whistling.
I remember you Dad for dropping me tirelessly on the scooter, for every outing that I went to, to ensure my safety.
I remember you Dad, when I see a watchman, for you said, " We don't need a watchman for our house, for I have two pretty daughters and enough suitors who will keep an eye on them". LOL:)
I remember you Dad for appreciating the terrible pancake I'd made and saying that it was the best that you'd ever had.
I remember you Dad for telling my future father-in-law that I was ' well versed in cooking" ha ha ha.
I remember you Dad for all the times you shared your food so that we could have that extra morsel of the food we loved.
I remember you Dad for all the sacrifices you made, living alone for more than 25 years in a foreign country, away from all of us.
I remember you Dad for the way you fed me with sweets or other goodies.
I remember you Dad, on that day, when I fed you and you struggled to keep it from slipping off your mouth.
I remember you Dad, when you could speak no more and you held on to my hand and told me some of your deepest desires.
I remember you Dad and I shall always remember you.
Love you loads.
