Daddy turned 60 today and got retired after serving the State Government for about 4 decades. We did not how he would cope up with this sudden change in life. Everything would change for him; his daily routine, he would not see the regular faces at office again. We know for sure that he would be missed by all his colleagues at work. The tears that rolled down the cheeks of many colleague while departing that evening said it that we would miss you. He has touched everyone's heart is some way. Age has made him retire from work, but he has not yet retired from life. He keeps visiting the office and guiding his colleague at work. On the last day of his office we thought we would make a collage of all the important milestomes in his life. We cut out snaps of all the events and pasted it on a chart along with phrases and adjectives that describe him. However we tried our level best, but I feel its impossible to describe Daddy in words. Words would fall short to describe him. Daddy we wish that age does not deter you from doing things that you have been doing in life and I am sure with each passing day you would "Rise higher" and "Shine Brighter"

Also seen in the snap is mummy who has been his backbone through all the crests and troughs of life
