And what made you think you won’t get a letter on your birthday just like Ma? 😉

Dearest Papa,

Happy birthdayyyy!!
May you have the most amazing year ahead and may God grant you all your wishes!

On this special day, I just want to thank you for everything you’ve done – big or small.

Thank you for setting up an example of just how a man should be – understanding, caring, respectful, and dependable. Thank you for never letting us feel we were any less than sons for you and Ma (this goes out to her as well). Thank you for pushing us further, encouraging us to achieve more always. Thank you for being the most honest and hardworking self-made man I know – you inspire us in more ways than one.

Thank you for sending me to UK, for funding my education and for never saying no to anything I wanted – be it multiple trips to Europe, a job in another city, or a flat all to myself.

And most of all, thank you for never ever putting even the slightest pressure on us for marriage. That in itself is more than I can say for most parents these days. 

Thank you for being so proud of us always. I promise to make you very proud one day, very soon.

Love,
Your youngest.
