My Dad
Today morning, the sun was bright and warm, it couldn't be any better, as the first message, I got was from my Dad:
I want to go back in time when happiness meant a candy.
When victory meant
Finishing your meal plate first.
When safety meant being in
Your mom's arm.
When getting high meant on
A swing.
When drinking meant
A mango juice.
When Dad's shoulder were
The highest place on earth.
When the only drug you knew
Was cough syrup.
The only things broken were
Your toys.
When goodbyes only meant
Till tomorrow.
When you loved everybody
And everyone loved you.
Love,
Dad.
My reply was
Dad honestly, I don't want to travel back in times for all those things because
my safest place is still in my mom's arm and you know I always bank on your shoulder, so at the moment I am at the highest and safest place and I still love mangoes :))) I do take the cough syrup and we still say goodbye to each other not for one day but only for few hours. The only thing for which I want to go back in time, which I recently encountered, was about the broken things because now I don't have toys and sometimes I do feel some parts of me broken into several pieces, maybe be you can show me how hold myself together during these times. Love YOU dad love you a lot. I am lucky to be part of YOU!

Sonia, thanks, Gul, its better to be sensitive, rather than plain, Katya, thank you for your well wishes and when we are having a mango party? :PP, Shaimaa, I really appreciate that, so we found one thing in common, the Mangoes :DD, Ralph, I always see a good dad in your comments, keep your broken toys safe, we all do need that for moments like these in life, I realized that quite recently, I always enjoy reading your comments and the way you create fun out of almost everything. thanks :)) Misha, thank you, yes I know men are not expressive, that why some people say I am a fool but I like being a fool who loves his family and is being loved by them :)))) Seda, thanks for reading, Bellisima, I have experienced that we can have these amazing memories by sharing our emotions for each other with each other and by being duty conscious rather than always telling others what they have to do, same goes here children always think what their parents have to do, rather than what they have to do as children. Annie, you are right I've always believed that we should live in present, instead of wanting to buy a time machine, but now I just want to go back in time for only one reason but I know I can't :))) Thank you all of you for taking out a time to read. God bless you all :)))

I do, sometimes, wish to go back to the time were life was way much easier. But when I think of the beauties and blessings I have today, I don't wish so much anymore. I guess Mom's arms will always give comfort in stressful times. There's no doubt of it. May you keep cherishing your Dad for as long as God lends you both this life. Amen ♥

WOW, wonderful, I always wondered the relation between father and son, is it as emotional as the girl's relation with their parents, because you men don't talk a lot like we the girls do, it was always a mysterious thing to me, but I am discovering from few books I read like Khaled Hossini's book.. It is so beautiful I think the relation between father and son, how much father's can influence in their sons, Nice how few words from a father can deeply touch their sons.
