I was a complete daddy’s girl. My whole world used to revolve around only 1 person i.e, my dad. He too loved me so much from the very childhood that I have never wanted anything else except my dad. I used to guard him from the every odds and was like his mother as my grand mother passed away few years back. I got a good job in a top MNC, though my father initially hesitated my joining to this company, as it will separate me from my dad, but later agreed upon as I wanted to be an independent girl. After that my father became really proud on me as I am the only girl of my family who has got this good job. My company was quite far from my home town in a total different state. I remember the initial parting days. My father used to cry and used to say that, ” Who will now take care of me?”. Though my mother is present, but still my father feels that the love and care I give to my father, no one else in this world can give and it was quite true to some extent. I remember the initial training days, I was away from home for a total of 7 months and that 7 months was the worst of my life, as I was unable to see and meet my family especially my father. I used to cry everyday. And then again I completed my training successfully and returned back home. That happiness when I was with my father. 1 year passed like this. My posting was again in a different state but I made it a point to come to my home every 15 days, as I was not happy leaving my family especially my dad. But suddenly 1 day everything lost. Friday night I had my train to go home, but that very Friday morning I heard from my brother that my father is in critical condition , he is heavily burnt and doctor’s has said chances are very low to survive.
I was so sterned as Wednesday I talked with my father and he was very happy that I am coming home that weekend, he was so excited and was asking my favourite dishes that I would like to eat. Like a mad girl, that very moment on Friday I left for home and finally reached at the evening to find that everything is in last stage. I tried my best to save my father, took to the best nursing home but next morning all went in vain. my father expired. I was so damn shocked as I could not believe how could this happen to such a good man. How can God be so cruel. Thousands of people came to our home to pay respect, such was my father’s goodness. He has helped everyone from friends to foes. He was so religious and spiritual. How can he die like this? The answers are still unknown. When I confronted my family Why they have not told me on the very day of the accident, I learnt that my father stopped them from doing that as he thought he will get well soon, but everything went worst. I am not happy in my workplace as my whole concentration used to be with my father, and also the situation was not so good. But now suddenly, I am so lost I don’t know how to react. To whom I will share my whole pain, as I used to share my all pains with my father. Few days back also I used to think myself the luckiest girl in this planet who has such a wonderful father, wonderful family. My father helped me from everything. But now I am all alone. My mother needs me now, as she is also broken, she cannot forget the horror of Thursday as she bore all the pain right from the beginning. She has seen her own husband dying in front of her, on her own laps. I really don’t know how to cope up. 21 days has already passed but till now I am so shocked that I hardly could believe my father is no more. I really don’t know the answer why god has done this to me.December 12, 2014 at 4:34 am #69147InkyParticipantMy darling Tuli, I am so sorry!! 🙁
What a lucky, lucky girl to have had such a father! He was everything a father should be to a daughter and you were everything a daughter should be to a father!
Many people would ask, “How could God take him so soon?” Your own father might answer, “Be happy that he was with you all these years. What a gift! Thank you God for having him with us for so long as he is a man of God and simply went back to where he came from!”
All things in life sadly, are impermanent. Appreciate everything. Now appreciate your mother. We may not have our parents forever.
In a weird way it was a gift he went first. Could he really handle it if you went first? Someone eventually has to go first.
Forgive me if I’m overstepping any bounds. We are going through the very same thing in my family (my husband and his dying mother have a similar bond) and this is what we tell each other.
Remember your father is with you in spirit, just as he has always been.
Comfort and Blessings, Tuli!
