Please do not read this book as great literary work. Please do not read this book as great work of fiction. Please do not read this book as gig guide on Parenting, nor an Inspiring telling on life challenges.
It is a simple, a rather plain narrative of a simple family, with simple middle-class values, simple joys, and simple everyday challenges. It would delight me no end if you can find an association, with your own story, somewhere inside these pages.
This book might nudge you to thank your parents more often, to spend that extra weekend with them, go on that holiday more often. I pray this book works to remind you, that Time is relentless. It does not turn back for anyone and today is as good a day as any to do the right thing.
Why I am I writing then, you ask? Are these feelings not too personal to share? To what purpose will these words serve you, my reader?
I have sat and argued a lot with my own arguments. They have argued back, telling me that I will not be able to do anything significant with these pages. But truth be told, I was taught very early in life by this man, to do exactly what I feel, to listen to my heart.
