But, this particular day makes me think. I lost my father when I was not even 14. He left us even before I realized the importance of having my father in life. I made so many mistakes in life, taken so many wrong decisions. Which when I look back at, I realize how much they have set me back. Probably, I would not have made those mistakes if I had someone to show me the way when I needed. My mother has been the greatest pillar of strength in my life, protected me from everything she could. And then when time came, she allowed me to fly away. But, she could not possibly have become my father.
Today when I read people posting about their fathers, I feel sad. I don't know. what I learnt for my father. I don't remember. I wish I did. I hope I have managed to become half the man he ever was..
