In those chilling winters during our early school days, as soon as the power went off in the evening, our hearts filled with delight. That was the time to relish some wonderful breaks from our studies. I remember how I, my elder brother and my little sister tried to position us inside our father’s big shawl, to feel the comfort sitting in his lap. Such happiness of warmth reignites every time my little angel, Jia, takes pleasure to cuddle up together with me early morning, when her mom tries to wake her up to prepare her for school. Well, now I can feel the peacefulness of the warmth inside my father’s shawl, same like before; it was so relaxing. But with growing age, I couldn’t realize how and when the space inside his shawl didn’t fit me any longer and the warmth simply got detached day by day.

DeleteI remember those evenings too ! Power cut meant all kids outside on the road ! And as it grew dark we would light a fire with leaves sprewn over the road in front of our homes... this reminds me of a specail kind of warmth... How I wish the day of detachment never came by.

DeleteA cycle of time. In our teens we start getting detached from father but as we approach 30s we realize its time to return. By that time we understand being in our father s shoes and what it takes to be a father.
