While we honor Goa and Goans with World Goa Day, could we find a way
to honor our Goan Mums and Dads in some collective way also? They will
always remain in our individual hearts but we must bring our joy,
gratitude and celebration out in the open to tell them, wherevere they
are that:
1. We appreciate their hard work and monetary sacrifices to make us what we are.
2. We thank them for understanding that in the future of their
children, education would play an important part.
3. We see how large problems in their marriages they would make small
so that we would have two parents.
4. We benefit from the values of faith and morals, humility and
helpfulness they demonstrated to us by example.
5. We forgive for the many physical punishments they made us endure
not in anger, but in the belief that it would make us better.
6 We remember what it is to be a Goan because they were Goans before
they were anything else.
and simply because
7. They mostly lived more for us than for themselves.
I don't care how we do it, nor who is credited for suggesting it. What
matters to me as it should matter to all of us is that we should be
able to do it.
