Dear Dad, Happy B’day!

By Zarna Gupta

Dear Dad,

I lost my father at a very young age & I thank God Almighty for giving me such a wonderful father-in-law, who has always treated me like his daughter.

You are the most balanced person even, in the face of the most difficult circumstances. Your calm demeanour has a soothing effect on everyone in the family. You are the embodiment of patience, a rare quality which everyone should look to emulate. Your recent battle with the deadly corona virus is a genuine example of your mental & physical strength & resolve in the face of adversity.

I vividly remember your helpful nature in helping Mom @ home as well as your resourcefulness. I particularly recollect the way you took such good care of Dadaji. I’m grateful to God that your love, care, affection & sacrifice for the family have been inherited by Hardik. Dad, you are a successful professional & an even more successful human being.

I fondly remember the times we used to play Judgement together. Dada & Meit are a formidable Jodi indeed.

Happy B’day!!!
