Expressing Deep Love and Emotion in Writing to a Father
Writing a heartfelt letter to a father can be an emotional and meaningful experience. This essay explores the journey of a daughter expressing her deep emotions and love to her father in a personal letter.
The Letter to My Father
Today, I want to write a letter to my beloved father. He is currently in Lucknow for work, and I am feeling a mix of emotions. Writing this letter in Hindi, my primary mode of communication with him, will help me express my feelings more deeply.
Opening the Letter with Love and Honesty
Mere pyare Papaa,
Kaise ho aap? Please don’t lie by saying “main thik hun.” I know you are worried, but you always manage to hide it. Let me share something with you: I know very well that you go through tough moments sometimes, but now things have improved. I remember the day when you would force me to look at you and say, “When you are ready to face your situation, you will.” Now, you’re not here, but I have grown a lot and come to understand.
Expressing Fear and Strength
Let’s be honest, Papa. I don’t have the courage that I once thought I had. Every time I try, I end up failing. I am scared of falling. I am scared because I don’t know how to make the right choices. I have to do so much for Mummy, and it feels like my dreams are getting smaller. But I will keep fighting, Papa, until my last breath, because you are my daughter.
Recalling Childhood and Changing Times
Do you remember when I was little, and you would immediately comfort me and calm me down? Now, I am seeking comfort from within. I have grown up, and I don’t need anyone to do it for me. I have shed so many tears during my life, yet I never told anyone. Sometimes, I even refused to stand up for myself, and I know I shouldn’t have. This is also the reason why I couldn’t change my life, no matter how much I wanted to.
Understanding and Appreciating Each Other
Papa, I understand now why you are so brave and strong. You see the world outside so clearly, and I am often scared. I understand now why you cry so much. It’s because you want me to be tough, and you want me to live the way you believe I should.
Gratitude and Love
I have always known that you give me the best, and I am grateful to be your daughter. Just like you, I strive to become a superhero in my own way. In your seven minutes, you often reminisce about those whom you love deeply. In those very seven minutes, all that matters is your memory of me.
Final Words of Love and Appreciation
I have so much anger and frustration, and I often react passionately. But you have never given up on me. Few people would be so patient with their child. I want to thank you, Papa. Thank you for all your support and endless love. I have so much admiration for you. Thank you for everything, Papa. Sending you a virtual hug from your daughter, Anju.
