Daddy cool!!

I read Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad about a decade ago. I loved the way he put his personal life into the book which majorly constituted of qualities of his father by birth and father by teachings.

My dad and his elder brother are of the same importance to me in my life.. I call both of them papa but for you not to get confused about which papa I'm referring to, let's name them A papa and M papa.

M papa is my father by birth but I spent 13 initial years of my life with A papa.

A papa has faced dire situations since the time his children were little. One of his daughters had a life threatening disease, one of his sons was not too great at school. He had to set up a business all alone and shelter his family. Another daughter had been attacked and years later when things seemed to fall in place, yet another daughter was fighting for life during childbirth..

A few challenges I can only mention but many more he must have faced...

M papa on the other hand, had challenges related to work early on and emotional issues came up much later. He was opposed by his children (including me) had to handle a stubborn girl, a zarurat se zyada bholi girl and me!! His son though was not much of a trouble...

Both of these men have had different matters of concern, I must admit that they not only managed them but overcame them while earning utmost respect.

While A papa showed perseverance with his little girl who had polio, M papa showed dedication to his work only for the better future of his family.

A papa is a risk taker and would go fearless to face problems. He worked really really hard, established connections with a new sie of the country and is now the owner of a great business with both his sons. M papa on the other hand is calm, doesnt talk his mind. He had the patience to let things be with his naive daughters who knew less about the world.

A papa has utmost faith in God, his Gurudev which brought his child back to life and M papa never gave up on God either, but he also believed in the decisions of his children..

A papa is now living a carefree life as opposed to many people of his age who still hold on to their offices and homes.. M papa has shed inhibitions and is now a more liberal head of the family enjoying holidays with family giving equal freedom to his  daughter in law and his daughters..

A papa brought out the truth from me regarding marriage and M papa accepted it and got me married to my friend for life.
Both of them left me with an unspoken message "Never leave the side of you partner. Stay together in hays and hos"

A papa's cheerfulness and nonchalance lightens up the mood in all situations and M papa's knowledge gives me inspiration to learn more...

A papa has thought me to be courageous, straight forward and unapologetic. M papa infused pddles of patience and trust to relentlessly keep going on.

These men have moulded my character to a great extent and I'm blessed to have them with me..

In the truest sense they are the coolest daddys anyone could have asked for and I am joyous and indebted to them for bringing all the good things to us and keeping bad things at bay..

Thank God for my Daddys cool!!

Cheers!
God bless!!
