What It’s Like To Have A Lovely Father And A Strong Mother!

Often when people ask me about my family, there's a lot that I want to say but I end up just summarizing that my parents are the coolest I have ever seen, who never compromised on the quality of life they could give us, both materially and intellectually.

If I had to describe my parents in one word each, I'd say my mom is Strength and my dad is Love; both are necessary for living a good life and the absence of even one would make life a chaos.

And trust me, it's the best combination one could ask for.

Whenever I used to feel weak, my dad would come to me and tell me about how my mom survived every catastrophe and that being a woman does not mean you need to be all emotional and dramatic about life. 

He told me how the daughter of this extremely strong woman should do justice to the strength that I've inherited from her.

My dad is Love because he's showered us with every form of love possible. Respect, Affection, Anger, Care, Concern, Criticism, Advise, Pampering; you name it, he gave it. He's love because I look out for him whenever I want to be heard, whenever I want to advise, whenever I want to be pampered!

He's a perfect example of how a man should treat the woman he loves, how love and respect are synonymous, how listening is as important as speaking up and how it's okay to be harsh if it's gonna bring some good  to your loved one.

My mom is Strength because she won't come and sit next to you and teach to stand back up. She'd let you fall, let you learn and she'll be there to hold you at the right time. She's not the protective mother who's scared of letting you take risk or trying something new. She'll let you experience every circumstance, but won't let you know what fear is. 

She is confidence. She is Strength. She's knowledge and she's wit. She's also craze of a next level.

She's the coolest friend and with a mom like her, you wouldn't need a reason to lie or fake. 

She's the spine of our family. Anyone of us feels weak, she's right at our back to support us. Any of us feels low, she's right there to add spark to our lives.

But if there's only strength and no love, one may become arrogant. While If there's no strength, only love then one tends to become vulnerable. And these two bring the balance in my life.

Thanks to them, my life's a lively and lovely journey!
