My dad's birthday is on December, but unfortunately just for days after his birthday this year marks the sixth month without him, so it goes without saying it he is not there anymore for the Xmas also. We wanted to do something for him and gift him something for his birthday and Xmas.
My dad had a habit to do on his birthday. He used to cook a very yummy meal with meat and curd and roam in streets to feed cats and dogs. We have done it every year. But this was not something that my sis and I could do by ourselves in the urban areas of Colombo now. What we decided to do to match his vision was to donate to a shelter house for street animals.
Then we selected a family to help with their groceries and school stationeries. My sister bought groceries and I wanted to help with school stationeries using my first salary. I saw that there is a Richard stall in the new year fiesta at SLECC. I purchased all the necessary items there.
We bought his fav things from his fav brands when he is there, and these are sort of the things that we can do for him now, and glad we could something for him at least in this way.
Thanks for reading!
Have a nice day!
