He was our Mr. Fixit, as well (he was a contractor who built houses, including the one we lived in). And he was quiet, like yours, but always there when we needed him. I miss him and wish I could share this post with him.Philosophidianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06313942468242988568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2697665148090517163.post-38223825862193490942012-08-31T14:41:05.365+05:302012-08-31T14:41:05.365+05:30Hi Supriy,

You have described him most perfectly with that single word, rock. No matter how much grief we give our fathers during our rebellious phase, they remain strong. They may turn a stern face to us, but in their hearts, Cynthia Rodrigues Manchekarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582482381203565646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2697665148090517163.post-35375619086800269782012-03-26T17:36:20.814+05:302012-03-26T17:36:20.814+05:30Hey Cyn

You are indeed blessed with awesome parents. I myself have a wonderful father. He is 77. I can't believe whene the days and years rushed by.. wow. My fondest memory is of follwing daddy all over. I used to sit outside the bath when he would go for his evening shower after Ruby Tuesdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13208782186682114767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2697665148090517163.post-23301677986608846832012-03-26T17:23:03.459+05:302012-03-26T17:23:03.459+05:30Hi Pat,

It is only when we grow up and become parents that we realise how fathers try so hard to make the world safe for their children. May your children feel for you that same sense of gratitude and love that you feel for your father.Cynthia Rodrigues Manchekarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582482381203565646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2697665148090517163.post-9869180132210250352012-03-26T17:05:39.343+05:302012-03-26T17:05:39.343+05:30Am very emotionally touched by the article since I...Am very emotionally touched by the article since I love my father. I separated from him at the age of 18 and used to meet him for 7-10 days during annual holidays. Though we approach mummy for everything since she is always at our disposal and the man does everythings for us in a very silent manner without attracting anybody's attention. I miss him.<br /><br />PattabiramanV Pattabiramannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2697665148090517163.post-37250891197935956972012-03-16T16:46:10.509+05:302012-03-16T16:46:10.509+05:30You are welcome, Merw.
