"Do you remember how your mother and I used to drag you into becoming a  doctor",  Her father said laughing...
I remember all dad. You and mom wouldn't allow me to decide what course to study.
Because you two wanted me to become a daughter like you.
They both laughed together in the parlor.
Tracy father came to pay her a visit. They finished with dinner and, were having father- daughter moments in the parlor.
I remember all sweetheart.
How you were so stubborn. And no matter what we said.
You were hellbert on your decision.
But in all, I didn't see a stubbornness in you, rather, what I saw was a strong, determined, courageous little girl. I see a fulfilled life in you.

Really dad? How come you never said this to me? Tracy asked her father.

I didn't want to because I,,, I want to see how determined and serious you were.
That's why,  at a time, I told your mother to let you be.
So we took the decision to give you the benefit of the doubt, and here you are today proven as all wrong.
Here you are, own a company,  bought a house, car and everything we ever wanted for you guys.
Oh death!!!!
All I  wish your mother was still here.
He started getting emotional .

Did you miss her?
Tracy asked her dad.

'You have no idea how much I have missed her.
Every day and night I think of her and her smile.
When I look at you I see her.
Your beautiful smile.
The way she walks, how she talks. And how she takes care of everyone'.
Tracy got closer to her dad and hugged her.
They cuddled each other. they both ceased the moment to mourn mother, and a wife.

Dad, I remember all.
I wouldn't have come out efficacious with you and mom's support. I'm happy because doing fine and my company is successful bringing the family a reputable name.
I wish she's here with me right now.
I have really missed her too.

Yeah! Sweetheart, when are you getting married?
You know how particular you mother was about you given her a grand child.
You brother has given me two. Very soon your sister would be next.
I'm worried about you.

Tracy said, trying to avoid the topic.

You can't avoid this conversation. You have to answer me sweetheart, you are growing.
You have to get married before your hair turns gray and you hips spread. I'm serious, your mother would say the same.
He stood up to go take his shower.
