Au revoir Dad


21 Dec 2022

There is solace and comfort in grief, a warm embrace that is holding me together and not letting me shatter. And I don't feel like leaving her or crawling out of her lap, to face a world without my father. To say I am reeling with the loss is an understatement. We are all children till we lose a parent and then... we are just lost and adrift. 

No matter how much time i got to prepare for this eventuality, it was not enough. I cried, raged against god, googled survival rates, hoped against hope, thinking somehow he will ride over things. But that was not to be.  He left as he had lived, gently and without a fuss. A noble soul , he looked out for everyone and am happy that he knew till the end that he was loved and cherished by so many.

No matter how selfish I wanted to be to keep you here with me , I knew the pain you were going through. Rest in peace papa, till we meet again and I know you will be waiting for me at the other side when the time comes.
