FATHER AND SON BOND

FATHER AND SON BOND

If a Mother is a wealth and the base of a family in which each and every member of the family lives together and shares happiness and sorrow with each other; then a Father is the protective shield of this base. If this shield gets weaker then everything becomes still. Oh God! We never see him cry or upset because we think that he is our father and he will be ok. He has this image of being strong. But sometimes we forget that he is also a human being. He also has needed to release his emotional drill. I don’t know that whether I would able to speak or say these words to him but definitely want to write to him. I am a girl. But it doesn’t mean that I don’t understand “father and son” relationship. In Indian community, we have the mindset that a mother loves a son more than a father. How can this be? A father is not expressive as a mother is. But that father loves his son equally. He cares for him since his childhood. He teaches him to ride a bike. He is the first inspiration to his son for shaving his beard in the earlier days of his puberty. He remains the best friend of his son for the rest of the life. He is the one who keeps himself awake in the night till his son is not at home. At every ring of the bell, he wakes up that his son has come. It only gives him sleepless nights. And he dozes off peacefully when his son comes home. He is the person who cries when he misses his son and not with him. Both a father and a son are the moral supporters for each other. But the fact is that that they will never reveal their true feelings and talk silently, without any words.

Oh, my father!

You no need to be mum

I will be happy if you share your feelings with me.

I know that I am not your son

But I am your daughter who always wants to see shining in your eyes and smile on your face.
