I am thankful to my father for giving me this life to live in. It's
through this life of mine that I could see the world, explore it and
then acclimatise with each and every fleeting moments.
I am not
so lucky to experience how fatherly love is because I was told that our
father left us when I was just a couple of months old. I was too young
to sense his presence. Therefore I have lived this life bestowed upon me
by my dad, in his physical absence with my age but never without his prayers.
However, I should be thankful to my late father for leaving behind him a
wonderful family bonded with love and unity. He left us not in a
makeshift hut but in a newly built two storeyed traditional home. He
left behind with us a mother who would nurture her kids with utmost love
and care with faith and loyalty to her late husband. He left behind a
daughter who would raise her younger siblings by giving the best she
could selflessly despite her tender age. She was just 13 when the family
felt the wreckage due to the greatest loss. My sister along with our
aging mom nurtured her younger brothers into responsible men. Today my
two brothers live a happy life shouldering the responsibility of father,
the value of which were instilled by my sister.
As we traversed
the mundane journey, death deterred our happiness, ailments shook our
peace, other misfortunes disturbed us deeply but our love and unity
could withstand all. Through unconditional love and unity, my siblings
gave me the utmost priority to make me the best, to which I didn't fail
to pursue and thus acclaimed being first university graduate from the
tiny hamlet of Darilo. I am happier when I could say I am a Civil
Servant under His Majesty's government. Through all these journey of ups
and downs, I wondered how a true fatherly love would be but I remain
ever grateful to my late father for having chosen to raise a family
which is an epitome of love, unity and strength. Hope you found peace
long before seeing us happy. Our Prayers for your soul.
Happy Fathers Day to all the Dadys.
May I get to call somebody my father one day before myself becoming a father.
