Dad, I remember it like yesterday, sitting next to your hospital bed, asking: “Is it okay if I study for a bit? I’m writing exams next week.”. Tired and in pain, you nodded and closed your eyes to rest for a little while. You understood that while your life may have been ending, mine was only beginning.
You died 11 hours later. In the early hours of 28 May 2017, a day that changed my trajectory in a way that I never could have imagined. Your death left me bereft with a lifetime of sadness, yet infinitely rich in your wisdom and humbled in your legacy as my father.
Dad, I write to you today, to thank you for always believing in me. And, taking the time to sit with me and give your input on passages from my psychology textbooks when I needed your view and understanding of the context.
I did it, dad! Through it all, I persevered, and I want to thank you for your continued guidance and presence in all that I am and all that I do.
Your death never severed our connection. If anything, it’s made it even stronger.
Congratulations! It would be an achievement during normal times, but accomplishing this during the pandemic is an Everest all its own. I’m so happy for you and Kai. I know you’ve both worked and sacrificed, and will both reap the rewards. Sending you love and virtual fireworks. You did it!
Thank you for all your support. Sending you and the family lots of love and care ❤
