3 things I always wanted to tell my Dad.
confession being a second daughter

Dad and Daughter relationship is beautiful and pure. Dad never expresses anything, yet understands daughters wishes without spilling out and fulfils it. I have one amazing dad, who along with 2 more daughters, raised them, nourished them and fulfilled all our dreams.
#1: I can also be responsible and can take decision like elder one -who you trust. I am also part of your blood she shares. I can also think like you think she thinks. I can also be very caring at the same time be very responsible. Trust me, I can take good decisions too. First child , is the queen for you. I am not gonna share that expression. All I want you to know is, I am learning from you, from elder one.
I have been taking these decisions of buying home, Saving money for us, Car for you as you always have loved driving. making sure your needs are always kept at first place. Top most priority is not letting go of your pride.
#2: I can be studious, but in my own way. I am not as clever as your 3rd daughter or studious as your 1st daughter but I was clever till school(according to mom), but I am a hardworking girl. Will achieve it if I want it, if you want it. You have helped me though trusting, please continue to do so.
I did not get a great college, I did not start a great career. But i always have hold on to my studying, finished it. I always have managed to somehow get a job( though not my line of study), worked on it and still working on it to achieve and make you proud.
#3: Always wanted you to rebel back for people who hurt you/us I always had this image of you as a strong bold manly man but inside you are the most soft spoken man who avoids any kind of argument or any fight. I take up and carry all that. I have given back in my own way - studying, working, earning, and talking back. Don't like anyone pointing at you and complain.
Small instances to quote: #1: People who all have commented on you for having 3 daughters, have either realised they could have one looking at how you have raised us and have felt bad for commenting about it.
#2: People who have insulted you for having less money and questioned how will you raise 3 daughters. Proved them wrong, they have lost so much money with their stupid decisions and they havent had such kids who studied and working today in respective jobs. what goes around definetely comes back around.
#3: Family member commenting and criticising of you being. All the time you had to put up with such comments , being someone close in a family yet insulting and yelling at every point of your life irrespective of any decision you took. looks like now, with all the money, trusting someone else apart from you, have lost it and now realised family members are more trustful than someone else.
#4: Things changed for you: one day in life when nothing , no one was supportive - except your wife being right next to you, at every heartbreaking moment. but today you are richer. your kids are settled. you bought a house, have got money to survive, amazing grandkids to play with.
One amazing bond we have. Us 3 sisters emotionally attached with you (best dad ). you have raised us exceptionally amazingly. you always say you are three times richer than any man who has girl kids, never differentiated between boy and girl child. Very proud to have you as our dad. I thank god a ton for giving you as my creator. Love you always to the moon and back:)
