"The Power Hug" : The Silent Gesture of Gratitude for My DAD Precious

A Pleasant Morning Buddies!

Is there a heart which does not ooze out of gratitude for his/her beloved dad...or are there words which would be enough to express our gratefulness towards him for not only conferring life to us but also teaching us how to make it worthwhile <3 ...undoubtedly not...


I remember always hanging around my dad's neck when I was small...whether it was when he left for work when I impulsively hugged him almost everyday urging him to be back on time and play with me....similar was the custom in the evenings when a huge hug welcomed him on the door...This hug was enough to rejuvenate my tired dad and he was all smiles as he entered inside and for me these hugs meant the world...Being in my dad's arms made me feel most secure and elated my heart beyond compare...we thus fondly called it "The Power Hug" to "Charge our Batteries"....Life was almost like a fairy-tale and I grew up being my dad's princess, most loved, pampered and well taken care of...but as time elapsed, though the significance of my dad did not diminish in my life, what diminished was the number of hugs ! This I did not realize than, getting entrapped in the vicious circle of life and getting busy in it's everyday hustle bustle.....



But Today as I sat back to zero -down on the most perfect gift for my dad, this Father's Day....I at once remembered our "Power Hugs" and the Giggles and Masti which engulfed those priceless moments....So Folks, I have decided  to flow in the uncontrollable  stream of emotions  for my dad and on this father's day go and give him a "Tight Bear Hug" and let my eyes and smile express and do all the talking...to recreate the same magical moments all over again! And yes why only on father's day would do so everyday from now...so what if we have grown up, so what if the roles are reversed! I am glad I got this realization and will resort to "The Power Hugs" again to "Recharge our batteries" and will ensure giving papa dearest a cozy love-ful hug as I leave for work in the morn and when I come back atleast for the number of days I am with him... This truly would be my best Father's Day Gift to him, Straight From the Heart!!




After-all, My dad undoubtedly deserves all these hugs and much more....


" For all that he has ever done for me so lovingly and selflessly....


For all those sleepless nights when I had fever and he could not resist keeping me on his lap whole night..


For all those long walks, where he lifted me in his arms, when I got tired...


For that single tear in your eyes, when I fell from my bicycle for the first time...


For being my bestest friend ever and sharing my deepest secrets, without judging me...


For having faith in my decisions, no matter, how unconventional they initially sounded..


For letting me learn thru' experience but always being there to hold me, whenever I fell...


For giving up all his pleasures of youth to save money for me to be able to fulfill my dreams when I grow up...


And for being m Silhouette all thru' my life which did not even abandon me in darkness!! "


And my list is endless...on a more personal note, giving daddy dearest a warm hug will mean I get one the most coveted one from him too :)....And that hug, which is symbolic of his love and blessings, means the world to me! And am sure, it would mean nothing less to you too...
