A whole year without you, the gaping hole in my heart refusing to heal. It's been an incredibly long and difficult time, memories clinging to me like vines to a branch.
I take a deep breath and look up. You are there somewhere in the infinite sky watching over me. You are my guardian angel, both then and now. RIP papa.
Yesterday, a profound sense of calm pervaded me, listening to a grieving daughter question Sadhguru about how to cope up after her mother's demise; it hit me hard... his response gave a lot of peace and clarity to me. He simply said that letting go of a parent at any age is not easy, however it is the truth of life that parents will not live forever. Now it is up to us how to remember and cherish them? As a source of misery of as a source of joy?
I am at peace finally, the tears have stemmed... I will always cherish you in my heart papa and grateful to god for letting me be your daughter. The sadness will never go away, but I know one thing- you are NOT a source of misery to me .. Till we see each other again ..
