HAPPY BIRTHDAY APPA !
It’s My Appa’s Birthday today and as he’s staying miles away from me, So this year I planned to write to him. Well, What’s better than blogging.
So here it is !
Dear Appa,
On your birthday, and on every day, you should know how appreciated and loved you are. I am your daughter that was shy, was afraid of New city, New life but I tried not to be a trouble.
You worked long hours and weekends too and spending time with you was special. I wanted to be just like you.
I loved writing and reading very early and we bonded over that. I loved having something in common with you (other than picky food choices), and taking trips to the Grocery Store. I wanted to show you I was smart because I saw how people respect you.
I always tried my best in school and in life and tried to be a good daughter so you and Mom would never have to worry about me.
I loved the way you always gave me pep talks about how to deal with bullies. And later on, how to handle tough situations in the workplace. I learned many important people skills from you.
You have been a strong provider of emotional support my whole life. I don’t think either you or Mom expected that I would experience the challenges of living alone in that city, but maybe in the back of our minds, we all knew it was a possibility given the strong family history. And I have to say, I can’t even imagine what all I've learned through that experience.

I want to thank you for not letting me get stuck in my head. I want to thank you for coming to my doctor’s appointments with me so you could learn more about me and to learn how to help me. Thank you for not looking at me as “incapable”. You never worried that I would be any less capable of doing whatever it is I wanted to do. You always had faith in me.
Thank you for your never-ending patience, support, guidance and for always reminding me not only who I am, but why I am more than a girl.
Happy Birthday Appa. You Rock. Miss you ❤
