Celebrating Father’s Day
Observing Father’s Day is a new trend that has been rising recently among the Bangladeshis.
Like other parts of the world, people here have started celebrating the day by reminiscing their beloved fathers on social networking sites.
Bangladeshi Facebookers have been seen posting emotional posts regarding the love they possess for their fathers with beautiful photographs.
Some recalled their loving fathers who passed away long ago while others posted photographs with their fathers.
Reminiscing his father, popular litterateur Anisul Haque in one of his posts said, “I guess no one can realise what fatherhood is until he becomes a father.”
Saidul Gani, a banker in profession wrote on Facebook, “Father, I don’t know where you are now. Stay fine wherever you are. I greet every father of the world on Father’s Day.”
Nyma Nargis a Dhaka resident said in her Facebook post, “Thursday night I met my father (in my dream obviously), I don’t see him often, may be once in two-three years! But he comes to me with a message all the time! But this time couldn’t decode his message! Wondering what he really wanted to tell me! God would you be kind enough to give me a sign!”
“I miss you baba, when it rains and I am late for home, No one calls like you did to know where I am… how I am! Miss you more than like I used to do! Stay fine wherever you are!” she added.
Saima Salam, a Bangladeshi expatriate living in New York recalled her father writing, “Abba (Father), the most important and beautiful time in a person's life is their childhood. The memories from our childhood stay with us for the rest of our lives. You made that part of my life incredibly enjoyable and peaceful.”
“You are the light of my life. As life goes on, we meet so many people, but finding people who are as open hearted and broad minded as you is very rare. Your dignity, honesty, love, affection has made our lives happy from childhood till now. Stay healthy and happy. I love you a lot. Happy Father's Day! Abba.” she added.
