My father passed away one day in the way no one of us ever expected.A gloomy emptiness,a strange feeling of helplessness,loneliness and orphanage suddenly captivated me.A boy who was in his young college days vivacious and vibrant gradually turned into a sober serious individual as now he was the one to be seen as the face of the family.

We often say that we care for the people when we find them no more with us.If this is a human instinct than i was not a separate case too.I followed all these years of my life a formal relation with my father who i knew always wanted to see a good friend in me to him rather being only a good son.I can understand him much better only when he is no more with us now.

Parents are nothing less like trees.A tree provides shade and shelter,fresh air and fruits even when we throw stones to it for getting the same.A tree never asks for something in return when even it sacrifices itself as a wood for our living.My example of a tree may seem not so artistic to most of you but isn't it really hard to find more familiar examples of selfless services and affection and at least in us as human beings.

Just close your eyes and try to visualise all your past life when you were not so successful,you were not so sophisticated, more soever you were nobody but you still were special for your parents.Didn't they did everything they could for you and you only.Though i belonged to a rich pedigree,yet my father established himself as a self made man to a social repute we all could cherish.I still have my memories very clear when my father used to struggle and to push every wall just to meet our both ends meet.Life was not a smooth sail but yet my father managed somehow to land us safely.He did more than his physical strengths could allow just to make a his children successful.But what is success..can you define?What is the degree after which one can really say that there is nothing left to be achieved for to claim happiness?Success is which you can share with your family and happiness is when you are with those who really love you.Those who loved you when you were nobody and will when you will be again nobody!

So..love your parents dear and live your time with them as you might never know when you will get abstained from the true love which you will find nowhere...
