'You should pen down your life dad. There are quite a few chapters which will be absolutely amazing!' I told him on that beautiful Valentine's Day in 2023 over the speaker phone while driving to office in the morning.
He brushed off that request of mine saying, 'Poda, who would want to read about my life?'
I said, 'You have inspired a lot of people dad. Even if that book of yours is read by only ten people, it will be life changing for them. You must write.'
'OK, let me give it a thought', dad said. I could imagine him smiling at the other end of the phone.
'Tell me dad, what's left in your bucket list? Is there anything you really wanted to achieve and couldn't?'
It didn’t even take a moment for him to respond, 'Nothing da, am all done with God's grace'.
48 hours later, I stood next to his bed in the hospital where he was in a state beyond recognizing me and bid him goodbye with my last kiss while his heart was still beating with unconditional love as always...
Happy Valentine's Day in heaven Daddy 💙
