It is not new how the love of a father & daughter is eternal. Let's take a closer look.
I once asked my father 'Would you love a Son more bapi (father in bengali)?'
He looked at me, smiled softly and said, "I have not known to love this way, I do not know how I could love more than this. It is not a son I would have but a daughter I would miss, I may have done injustice to him in some way.
Look at you darling, you have done so much, learnt so much even taught me sometimes so much. You are an engineer today, all grown up but what bothers you is if I would love a boy child more-this little joy can only be found in a daughter.
When you were a kid you told me how the world didn't matter, just my opinions did & anything you did was because you loved me and wanted to see me happy. They were wise words I realized much later.
You have worked hard, never staked my name and understood the silent prayers when we were battling with finance. You didn't want an expensive mobile but you mentioned you didn't like them when all your friends had one. All this without me having to say anything. You always made me feel proud of raising you. I cannot think what blessings brings me to 2 blessed daughters.
Maybe some people distribute sweets when they have a son but for me it was the joy of being a father & I couldn't have had a better journey.
So, no I think whatever has happened to me with 2 daughters, I want it to happen to me everytime in every life."
"You make my name proud!"
If you could see my eyes, you would realize I had just won the world. Nothing on earth could make me happier. I own the world....all of it :D.
And that's what a daughter's world is made up of.
P.S.-If you are not Indian, this will help you understand why I asked this question. In India and many other places Sons are celebrated while daughters aren't. It is very evident in the cultural functions/rituals and even upbringing. Fortunately my parents were never like that and also I don't have a brother which probably is a good thing. But since my father's reply, I don't think like that any more.
