Hi Friends,
This is the only picture of him that I am having right now with me. So, please excuse me for the lack of clarity in the picture.
I miss your smiling face,
You left me in lurch and gave me pain,
To get eternal grace.
That laughter of yours still rings in my heart,
Adding to my woes.
Your kindness and modesty set you apart,
From all your friends and foes.
You left behind a legacy of humanity,
And taught me what is love,
Now, you have secured a place in divinity,
Watching me from heaven above.
Alas! You vanished from my sight,
A huge void engulfs me.
I have spent many a sleepless night,
Tormented by your memory.
Life can be so cruel at times,
And betray our misplaced trust.
Death is certain, when the bell chimes,
Our body will turn to dust.
I still miss and love you a lot, dad, even after so many years.
Thank you so much for taking your precious time to visit my website. Hope you enjoyed reading my blogs. 😊😊

I was 17 and appearing for 12th grade board exams. He fell off from a running train.

indeed. I was 38 when my father died. That’s very different, but I still live with the wound.
