Inspiration and gratitude- Dad & Mum

Dear Dad and Mum,

I am neither worried nor nervous about success in my life. I am just fortunate to be born to parents like you. Looking back at the journey; growing at the lap of the illiterate and poor parents; making an effort to complete a simple education and to live with a decent earning; gives me a space to take a deep breath and feel enough fortunate to be born to poor and brave parents like you. No other significant persons can stand above in my life than my dad and mum. Though you live far from me, but you always hold a special place in my heart. My prayers and love are always with you.

I am writing this letter intending to express my gratitude for being wonderful
parents that one wishes for. Your sacrifices in many ways have truly made differences in our lives. The way you devoted to looking after me and my two sisters were not an easy having numerous challenges back in the village as a farmer. I remember you keeping awake for the whole night when there was even a mile fever on us.  I still miss your special meals for us out of nothing in the store.

Dad, thank you for your unparalleled efforts for the three meals for the family without having the need to go hungry either of these three occasions. You were the protector and I am facing difficulty to replicate you for my family. My deepest admiration on the value of education as a farmer and making and giving us everything to be equal with others if not more. I love you dad. You are really a wonderful creature in the world. Sometimes, I just wonder what life would you have been to if you had the opportunity to go to school and if you had a caring father like you to us. 

Mum, I am always taken by your innocent and simply living life. I don't want to mention what the world knows about motherhood. Everyone understands it. I just wanted to thank you for making me what I am today.  The lessons you taught me about the world, starting from bending head to say Yes and helping me shaping my life through your inspiration to be a good human. I am still trying to be a human-like you but it needs lots of sacrifices. I love you mum. I pray for all the sentient beings to take birth in mother like you.

Mum and Dad, I can’t emerge as a champion in this world, but I will never try  fail myself in living up to your expectation as human. In my life,  you are always a source of inspiration. I submit before you for your continued blessing.

With deepest respects, 

Your son
