The boundless love a parent has for their child is matched only by their capacity to embarrass them.
DADDY HELP ME
There comes a time in every fathers life where he has the opportunity to show their child or children that, along with being a provider they are their security and protection, literally. You know, their superhero in real life. My day came a few days ago. I was faced with impossible odds and had to show my daughter that daddy is alway ready and has her back. It was a defining moment in our father - daughter relationship, a moment that I’m sure neither of us will ever forget. Albeit, for very different reasons.

Oh Dad I Wish...
Five weeks after the havoc played, it was my first trip outside valley. When I landed, I had forgotten completely, though for few seconds only. I switched on phone to check dad’s missed call alerts. His habit was to keep calling till I would land. Either I would receive his call or missed call alerts just after switching on the phone. This time there was nothing, no call, no alert. I realized instantly that I had actually forgotten. I don’t know how but I could restrain tears in eyes like I did for the sighs in my heart. Perhaps by now I had learnt the art to absorb tears within eyes and restrict sighs within heart. It’s true, but I craved for a dark corner under the ambient roof of Delhi Airport where I would weep to my full and let the heart exhaust sighs. I avoided boarding metro, despite the fact that my hotel was near to its station. I needed a moment in solitude. I took a cab. I prefer to sit with the drive for a chat. This time I went for back seat, hence offered myself a moment of solace.

In Remembrance of Mom
Both my parents my mom Elvira and my dad Eriks Raisters had had their lives interrupted by WW II. They escaped from their homeland Latvia, lived in DP or Displaced Person's Camps in Germany, got married there and finally sailed into New York Harbor in 1951 to start an entirely new life. It was a happy time when I came along on 1957 and a very sad time when just ten short years later mom and I lost dad in 1967.

MOTHERHOOD:
I woke up this morning to a baby puking on me while smiling unapologetically. For the first time her lack of inhibition worried me. This Mother's Day, I thought I'd be reflecting on being a mother for the first time and jot down some mushy words, instead, I think back to the day I walked in on my mom having greater aspirations for my daughter than she did for me.

How to Say I Love You.
My siblings and I have a very different look at our father and his love. He has never been a very emotional or sentimental person. He's never been the hug and kisses and saying "I love you" type of person. However, I never felt unloved by him. I still knew he loved his family. I was actually a daddy's girl and followed him around everywhere. My sisters weren't as attached to him as I was. Which leads to some heated discussions at times between us.

Boss Moms
Boss Moms I feel a little remiss writing about the impactful ways some truly amazing women have left a mark on my life because I feel like the true tribute to them would be a shining example of what could only be categorized as a perfect life, the kind of thing you present to the world from some grandiose platform where you’ve receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for some amazing contribution to society. To be honest, the fact that I’m not accepting such an award may actually leave the below anecdotes anticlimactic because words really won’t do the justice I wish they would in highlighting these people who have blessed my life and that in itself is it’s own kind of tragedy. Having said that, please try to see the rare treasures in these moments from my life and the women who inspired them.

Bat shit Crazy
Words can‘t describe the feelings that I have right now just hearing the words Co-parenting now. I thought this word was practicing to work together as two diffrent families to build up the kids as ONE effective Unit that would benefit the child's health; mental and physical, social life, providing help, unity, love, compassion, and healing through a diffcult time. But no. I get the rude, cruel, dishonest, nasty part of the stick, where its pain and growing disasters after another. This is my story of literal love, confusion, heart ache, and down right what the flying fuck is going on here. I will be talking about active family, and criminal cases, twist and turns of everything that I call my life. (Sigh) I dont even know where to begin so lets just make this easier.
