*Happy Birthday Papa*:Inspirational Stories and real life Incidences.

A FATHER holds a place of the highest altitude in any person's life,
be it a kid, a teenager or an adult. We have always looked up at our
Father. The boys, always want to be like him, and the girls want
someone in their life like Him.

I have always celebrated my father's birthday in my own small way,
but this year, i approach the day with a fear. It has been 2 years
this January, and very long years indeed, that, I lost my Father
due to Cancer.

No prelude, no warning,.. Gone. Just like that. And he was only 52.

And each day reminds me of the harsh act of Destiny, which turned
my life into a biggest mayhem I had ever experienced.

No lecture, no medication, no meditation, no psychiatrist can
prepare you for this stroke of fate and its aftermath. People can
say that you are lucky, atleast you knew what a father was, they
can say that he is there and is watching over you. People can say
that you have so many fond memories to cherish, but none of this
is good enough. No, nothing matches to him being present here
in flesh and blood. Nothing matches up to his touch of assurance
that said he would never let u feel.

Nothing matches up to his expression as he listened to all your
childish complaints and impish reports.

Nothing matches up to his laughter at your silly jokes. Nothing
matches up to the feeling of pride at every 'Scrabble' game when
it was Mom and your brother versus Papa and you. Nothing matches
his waiting for you when you are late.(To reprimand you, on Mom's
instructions.) And then forgetting about his anger when he saw
you exhausted after a tiring day. Nothing matches his grasp as
you walked with your feet over his, even when you were 19. Nothing
matches the support and confidence he gave you to stand up and face
even the largest crowd. Nothing matches his amusement at your insane
habit of crying after you achieved something. Nothing matches his
eyes which had so much love stored just for you.

Nothing matches the sense of individuality as he asked for and valued
your opinion and cared for your viewpoint, even though you were
only 15. Nothing matches his calling you up every day when he was
not in town, and listening to your minute-by-minute report about
the day you had spent.

Nothing matches the feeling that Papa will always be by you, no
matter what. And then, nothing matches the feeling, which comes
with the knowledge that he is never coming back. Indeed, when
God takes something away, He gives something in its place. He
took away my father, and gave me strength and courage. Just imagine,
a girl, who couldn't live one day without speaking to her father,
survived for 2 years..

But now, i will make my father go on for ever. I will carry him along.
I will carry him to my graduation, carry him to my first day at
work, carry him to my wedding day, carry him to every significant
day in my life.

Because though the void left in my life can never be filled again,
my Father will live through me. So I will live, the way he would
have wanted me to. I will make a life out of my being. 'Cause after
all and above all, I am my Father's Daughter..

I love you Papa and Missing you Too Much.

I am so very sorry and I cannot imagine how devastated you must feel, having lost the physical presence of this most important person in your life.

First, grief is best dealt with when you are able to show your emotional pain, talk with others openly and express your feelings fully about a loved one's death. And accept support from family and friends. at your age learning to separate from authority figures and find your own identity, it would be very normal for you to feel somewhat alienated from adults anyway.

Know that death ends a life, but it does not end a relationship. The bond you have with your dad will stay with you just as long as you keep his memory alive in your mind and in your heart. He will always be your father and you will always be his daughter. Take comfort in knowing that, in a very real sense, your dad is very much here with you now, wherever you are. His spirit and his memory live on in you because you are so very much a part of him. When you really think about it, in many ways you are more inseparable now than you were before, because you are not limited by space and time and distance.
Please accept my deepest and heartfelt sympathy over the loss of your father, and know that I am thinking of you.

Dear Roja,

As you said, no words. no assurance, no sympathy and no person can fill up the void where your father had always been, all these years. I just want to say, I feel your pain, your helplessness...the void that is created..dont think its a void....your father, your parents are always watching over you and I am sure they are proud of you.

Please accept my wishes on behalf of your beloved father.

Di don't know what to say...Words cannot alone express how sorry I am...
it is never easy to deal with the loss of a beloved one..
i know how close u were to ur father and can feel how anguished you must b ...
its tough to loose somebody we love but be strong. Your father had a good life and is now at peace..
a parent's death severs something from your past. but, that is life. an inevitable part of life. so, take courage and move on.
Our parents will never, ever leave us, they are going to be with us always, no matter where they are.
May God bless you with strength and peace of mind..
I'm keeping u in my prayers for peace of heart and mind..
take care..

Roja ji,
I know that even if time passes it would never be the same. You are a strong girl, you have a wonderful future ahead of you, and i’m sure you will be sucessful and your daddy is very very proud of you, he is watching over you all the time, protecting you and your every move, talk to him, because he is listening to you all the time, with a big smile on his face to see that his princess is so sweet and succesful.

baadal..

ITS TOO INSPIRING,TRUE BUT A REAL FACT OF LIFE...

ITS TOO SCARY FAR ALL OF US,TO EVEN THINK ABOUT THE SADNESS,ABOUT THE LONLINESS A PERSON FEEL WHEN HIS/HER LOVED ONE'S DEPART..

I KNOW ITS NOT EASY TO MOVE AHEAD IN LIFE BUT I PRAY TO WAHEGURU THAT HE GIVES ALL COURAGE AND GUTS TO YOU,DEDICATE YOR GOOD AND HARD WORK TO YOUR DAD AND MOVE AHEAD IN LIFE..

I LOST MY YOUNGER COUSIN SISTER WHO WAS VERY CLOSE TO MY HEART,SHE DIED DUE TO BRAIN TUMOUR.SHE WAS JUST 12 YEARS OLD..I STILL REMEMBER HER FROM DEEP WITHIN MY HEART..

"IN HER MEMORIES MY DAYS ARE PASSED INTO YEARS
I STILL REMEMBER HER IN MY TEARS.." Crying
