Dear Dad, <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Today, I wish to record my learning, as I stood by the doorway of my memory, and observed all the events from the past year cross by, in a single file. Shadows are not mere coincidences, and I believe they are not just a reflection of our bodily selves, but also our souls. As our lives are unfolding before us, emotions stand to be eternal and so are our shadows. <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As we live through various memories, our actions and emotions; we earn experience, and learn more about others, and ourselves. One’s shadow reflects their learning, with each of their actions filling in a shade to their shadow…and it leaves its trail on our life. <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A mere thought alone, brings glory and utmost bliss to me, and life seems to smile back. When I think of that memory: looking at me in my eyes, saying just that, what I wanted to hear; my life seems to have been rewarded. I stand here to understand the actuality of this emotion.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Destiny creates drama when it wants you to know so, else you may lead an ignorant life until death. I seek to forgive and forget, for when I close my eyes now, those memories relax my soul. I would want to meet again, no matter, whenever that happens. I shall omit all rules in such a possibility… <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If I know of love, I know of how you did…I believe; it was no ordinary an emotion. Let the destiny know how strong our connection is. My Shadow carries your scent, and without you, I do not enjoy the sweat of my shadow anymore. <\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Yours…<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
