UNFAIR

I just happened to chance on a blog written by Ayshu about her friend who just lost his life. I just could't resist expressing myself. As most of you are aware i lost my father more than a year ago...god! has it actually been that long? it seems like it was just a few days back. i misss him sorely. there are so many days i wish i could just hear his voice once more or give him a hug one last time....not that my father was one for hugging. in fact physical forms of affection were not exactly his forte ...he'd rather just do it verbally ! i remember when he was diagnosed with cancer. it seemed like the worst day in my life! i couldn't believe it! why was life so unfair. He had just turned 50 What about all those old people i knew who were beyond 90 even!NOT FAIR! I remember vividly how my dad used a different approach. He told me "every day is a day extra". that's how he lived the next four years. Nisha who stayed with us during that time will probably remember him and how brave and undaunted he was. ...and i'm still am very very proud of him! wish i could tell him that though. Alright...i bet you're wondering where exactly i'm getting with all of this. I'll get to the point. Life's tough and scary lessons have taught me one thing for sure. Every day is a day extra and never ever take time or people for granted. If you've hurt anyone you love in the near future...swallow your ego and apologise. If you've been meaning to tell someone how much you love them ...go ahead! If you really misss someone let them know. Live like there is no tommorow and everyday will bring you joy. Let everyone know whatyou feel and give as much as you can...physically and emotionally. After all, life is very short...shorter tha you could ever guess! I know! So the next time you see your father looking a little out of sorts give him a hug...or for those of you far away call him and let him know how much ou miss him...coz someday you'll be glad you did!
