Would it be too cheesy to put your dad's picture on FB and say "Best Dad in the world"? The other day I heard a wise man say the moment you claim to be the best mom in the world, you are no longer a mother, because being a mother is not a competition, it's an offering...
I have never had the habit of wishing people on mother's day, father's day etc... But nonetheless, what I feel for my parents, I don't know whether they will understand it any day at all. If they do, that would be something... As I wrote something on FB today, it felt a little odd that I decided to confine it in this little space...
Appa and Amma, gratitude, love, intensity of emotions: all of these are just words which cannot capture in reality what I feel for you. I have never known parents like you, I have never wanted anybody else like you... I consider it a divine gift, that I was born to you.
I have not made my life the way you dreamed, but let me assure you - I am living a happy, healthy and peaceful life and above all my life is in a certain dimension of experience (which millions may seek, hardly a few taste). I may not be doing things in my life as you wanted, but I will definitely do those things which really matter in terms of life existentially - for you as well as for me. I will do everything needed for both of you to reach the ultimate destination. This small family that you've toiled to build, what I know as THE BEST in terms of existential life, I will offer it to every one of them.

Not just a day, to remember you (both)...
Not just words, to express my gratitude...
Not just love, an attempt to reciprocate would be a failure...
For what I am, for all I am, the source you (both) are.
Indebted through this life, can never be paid back
In gratitude, endless...
My wish for you, your very own wish
That you now can't see, but if you can see
Let me carry you, and set you free...
Life has... its own ways
But I wouldn't want it any other way
I wouldn't want it, any other way!
