My Parents Are My Lifelines

Expressing for those who taught me how to express
I have so much to share and tell...
Writing for those who taught me how to write
That how they made me smile...

Cheers to life with you beautiful people. My mom & my paa are simply the best. Here, I am sharing some small moments of my life which created a big impact on me...It was when I was just 3 years old. It was the very first day of school and I was crying so bitterly that my mom started to cry with me. My father told my mother to calm down & make me understand  that how important school is...!
She took a deep breath & said, "I made your favourite for lunch in school. You can share it with your new friends." I simply replied that you two are my best friends and I don't want any other friend. They told me that I would be getting new colours, new class, teacher will be so loving & caring but they were unable to convince. I was just sobbing & crying. It was so hard to see for my mom that she started an argument with my paa. My father, he held my hand, took my school bag & came out. He strongly said that it's just the first of your life's journey. There will be multiple times in life when you would have to go alone...but you should keep one thing in your that your parents will be your backbone. He bought me some chocolates to share with my new friends.
My school had an afternoon shift for nursery & K.G. classes. It was from 12:30 to 6:00 p.m. While walking & talking, we reached the school. My father left my hand & said, "Don't worry, I'll always be there for you." I didn't know the figurative meaning of his sentence and so I took it literally...
I asked, "Always? Promise me that you'll not be going anywhere..." Holding tears in his eyes, he said that you go inside, and when you'll be coming back outside, you will be seeing me at your first sight. I went happily to my class. I really had an awesome day with new friends & teacher. I merrily came out & saw that My paa was standing in the front only... One of the school workers told me that your father was sitting outside in scorching heat for the whole day. He loves you so much. We asked him to have a glass of water but he said that he can't because he thought that you would be still crying & not having your lunch. I ran so fast towards my father & he held me high in air...
Parents are the only one whose love comes with no terms and conditions...Blessed to have such parents in life who always supported me & siblings.
