Today is the second day of my blog here.
Yesterday was the last working day for my father. He retired yesterday. I was feeling very bad as I should have been with him yesterday. But I could not. But I kept talking to him to know how was feeling about the day when he was retiring from his job which he executed very religiously. I have grown up seeing him going to office in time in the morning and coming back in the evening sometimes happy, sometimes tense, sometimes silent……….
As I heard from mother that he started his carrier with a salary of Rs.250 per month. And he used to run a family of four, his wife and two children. My mother always told us that with that less amount also he used to run the family so nicely that she never felt anything was missing or less. I know it needs a great understanding and cooperation from wife also to stand by her husband and my mother was like that. I am proud of both. He stated his carrier with Rs.250 and yesterday he retired as a branch manager of a national bank. I saw him passing through lot of hurdles but he stood against them with courage and poise and came out victorious.
There are lot qualities in him which I wish I could develop in me. Today when I was looking at me in the mirror, it just came to my mind that my father is retiring and feeling sad for him thinking that he might be feeling sad to leave the job which was his identity. Today whatever I am is because of you. Thank you Dad & Mom.
