Life is hard for all of us.
I don’t know why these words came to my mind. I think I understand your anger, and his ways are not right ways. And fear consumes him. But even when I’m (I think) a liberal person, at times I worry, will my children be able to support themselves when they grow up?
And yet, you have saved lives. You give yourself generously. You are a friend to people who simply don’t know you well. Is there a way to put a price for that?

I think (and I’m not trying to defend your father here), one of the hardest things of being a parent is that we will disappoint our children.

I don’t know yet how am I disappointing mine. I know I would be disappointed of my father if I would be the child of the person I am.

I wish I would have had the right words to console you, Gurpreet.

I hope you feel my appreciation for you.
