FATHER-The first man a girl loves in her life, the first man she puts her faith,her life and her soul into, her first best friend.The first man who takes an oath for her protection for life. Hence, he is not just the first but also the best man of her life.(I also mean it literally where he gives away his daughter in the wedding,I mean,why should only guys have a best man at the wedding?).
I dedicate this blog to every woman who has been and still is the princess of her dad and to every man who already is or someday will be a king for a very beautiful creation called daughter.
It is a well reasoned cliche that daughters are more close to their fathers and sons to their mothers.Personally, one of the most beautiful relationships that I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing is of a father-n-daughter.
Somehow,the first and the very important memories for a father of his daughter are those that she can never remember.Her entrance into this world,the first time she opens her eyes and looks up at him,those endless times when she lies on his chest and falls asleep to the rhythm of his heartbeat,the day when she takes her first steps holding onto his hand,the first time she falls down and injures herself,those nights when she wakes up in the middle of night crying and then he has to stay up with her because her mother is tired from the day and needs rest,the moments he spends pleading with her to say 'papa' instead of 'ma' and the first time she does say it,the countless times he becomes her piggyback ride and not to forget the first day of her school.
(I know at this point some might want to argue that this is how it is even with sons too, but let me say this,a girl has a very special place in a man's heart.One that a son can never reach.)
Every man promises his wife that he will never love another woman more than her, but he breaks that promise the moment she gifts him a baby girl.A father no matter how old or young, how busy or available,how tough or shy would still have his daughter as the most important person in his life.That is a father.Although I can't say it is true a 100% vice-versa too, it still is for many girls.No matter who comes or goes, her dad still remains the most important
This blog is going to be my attempt at remembering the most about my dad, my special memories with him, cherishing each and every one of those memories, sharing them with you because you never had a chance of meeting him and knowing what an amazing guy he was and to keep him alive through me.No matter how far, he will forever be the man I love the most in this world.
