It hurts and it always will.
It has been more than 6 years and we still look for you in crowd, hoping to see you. Somewhere in the middle, smiling and waving your hands. The void in our life can’t be filled and it never will. Every year 3rd Jan comes and goes, with that strong memory of your birthday celebrations. We are writing a small letter in open source, as internet has deeper reach, hoping that it can reach you too.
People say, he is in a better place, but we know, our home was the best place for you. They say, he is looking at you and guiding from there, but I know you always preferred being in front and guiding from the frontline. As you used to sing this song ” Kuch to log kahenge, logon ka kaam hai kehna,” people still say and perhaps they always will.
We often see you in dreams, in different situations and wake up with happy face irrespective of what was in the end. Somehow, we are happy to see you. In the end, even in our dreams, you will always save us, you’ve always had and you always will.
Every function starts with your thought and the liveliness you used to bring in it. Our mutton curry never tastes as good as the one you used to make on Holi. These festivals are cruel, these are not the same without you. It is a roller coaster of emotions, normally we are happy and lively, then next minute there is silence. Silence is very loud, unbearable at times.
But, don’t worry, we are still strong. All are well and miss you dearly, especially Maa. She does not say much but her silence at many occasions say it all. We are positive and with your love and blessings, we are growing very strong.
This can go on and on, but you already know. We love you and you are always in our hearts and always will.
Wishing you a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA.
