That's the toughest man I know
-
Airforce veteran Bishwanath Sinha... my dad
-
I remember as a child I was chased by an angry bull
-
and I ran straight towards him crying
-
He held me in his arms and said wipe those tears off. You're a man.
-
I guess I stopped crying because I wanted to be like him.
-
Tough and strong
-
So no matter how hard you've taken a hit...No tears
-
And so I hid. I hid my pain like dad would want me to...
-
I did not want him to see my wounds, that I'm weak
-
I was being a man.
-
But this time he didn't ask me to wipe my tears off
-
That moment changed it all
-
That's the day we both realized that showing what you really feel
-
doesn't make you less of a man
-
Raising a strong boy also meant telling him it was ok.
-
It was ok for boys to cry
-
Men can cry.
-
Even soldiers can cry.
-
Because our pain reveals the best in us.
