After such a long time, I've come again Pa...you doing Ok? Cleared a lot of clutter at home today, both from my kitchen larder and my fridge rack...stuff you bought for me, for us from time to time whenever you visited us is priceless then and now!
While into baking neck deep of late, I miss you more...all those things that you would carefully pack and those things that you thought would help any of us in the kitchen...I miss all those...and the love you put in while packing for us...
I wish I could by some magic bring you back...just for a few minutes maybe, no for an hour, nope more than that...just to tell you how much more I love you than what I actually do or told you the last time. I wish I could smell your after shave or just watch you combo through those curls of yours...those precious curls that I possess as well. Umpteen times the women at the salon ask me if I want to straighten my hair and that I should...NEVER! that's the nearest resemblance I have to you and Ma. I love those curls. That's my imaginary umbilical cord with both of you.
I think when people are alive, we should tell them so many nice things and reaffirm our love or liking towards them...it is not when they are gone forever and when they can't defend themselves in any situation -be it a comment or a biography written on them...that's not when you tell people you loved them for what they were to you. I know I have told you through various ways...although whatever I said or did sounded blunt and too outspoken! I miss you a lot Pa.
I just wish we had some time to make amends...wish I could just rewind the clock. You gave me everything Pa...You are the perfect son, the perfect husband, the ever so perfect father, a fantastic father-in-law, a friend and pillar of strength to many of your colleagues...
My inner strength comes from the rearing you gave us and what I have learnt watching you...Are you in a happier place? Do you miss us Pa? Ente Ponummas...
