We remember you on this day,
You left us a month back, on a Thursday
Necessities of life keeping us occupied outside
But just a thought of you ignites a million emotions inside.
Tears roll down from our eyes,

Even before we realize.

We were besides you in those final moments, anxiously
Seeing you go and we standing there helplessly
Worldly power and knowledge what we think,
Is nothing when the Almighty decides to ink.

A message from you days before you
left, this day we want to spread
‘You people are suffering because of me’ with tears rolling down, you said
Thoughts of a man on a painful death bed uttered
Not a word of discomfort or ill treatment muttered
Does not mean we have done the best
Message is to accept pain and expect happiness for the rest.

We wish to express our gratitude to our family and friends for their wishes of comfort following the passing of our beloved Papa. Also thank those who stood by us in words/deeds throughout the hospitalized period.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord and let the Perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul rest in peace.

A loving tribute from Wife, Children and family members
