My father started working way before he turned adult.
Saved every penny from “multiple gigs” to afford his education.
Completed his graduation after three daughters were born. (I am the 4th one.)
When it came to my education, I went to the best school, college and coachings for CA.
Worked hard, became a CA, had a thriving career, left all of it to become a writer.
Never has he ever questioned that career change. I am still perplexed by his incredible support, every single day.
Bottom line: We must give our parents way more credit than we should. They may not be present and that may be our complain (as has been mine) but they did everything to make sure we did not struggle for necessities the way they did.
It does not cease your need for emotional longing, but it gives your rational mind a reason for its absence.
That’s nothing short of a miracle.
Struggling for necessities
