Just once more...



Nothing was the same,everything changed in a matter of days...His life was no more as simple as it was..He wanted to blame his near and dear ones for having saved his life that day...for at least he would have lived a life of dignity and died the same way...for he did not want to be taken care of and monitored all the time..for he wanted to be able to live all by himself and not at the benevolence of his relatives..he had always disliked being sympathized with..and there he was lying on his bed,unable to move an inch by himself...his immobile body has confined him to a small room in the place where he lived his entire lifetime..where he spent his adulthood days...he is paralysed now...!!
Life now bears a different meaning to him,He eats not because he enjoys it,but because he knows that is what will keep him alive for a little more time,He smiles not because he wants to but because his smile might lend a smile to his children who are doing all they can to get him on his legs again,but it is a bit too late..His voice is growing feeble by the day,the infection is spreading rapidly..He has a limited number of days by his side,for the tumor cells in his brain are multiplying every second,and he can feel himself crumble haplessly to death..
His dear ones can feel the pain that he feels,but only if they could share the pain..Alas..this is one thing they just can't do..Sometimes God can be so cruel to someone so naive and innocent...how unfair!!!
It is painful to see some one you love so much in this state..everything is fading and so is your hope...you don't want to let go..but something is taking him farther away..
You only wish you had a little more time..for you want to re-live all the moments you spent with him..JUST ONCE MORE....if not more....AT LEAST ONE MORE
and now that he rests his soul in peace...
God Bless him for he was not just a kind soul but the best grandfather anyone could have asked for too!! LOVE YOU DADDY! :"-(

  3. Life keeps kicking you down
    But you come back for more
    You take all the knocks
    Pick yourself up off the floor
    Believe in yourself, stand tall
    And take up the fight.

  4. well, thats life. you always end up seeking more and more.this just reiterates the fact that one should live life to the hilt.life is a rollercoaster ride and there may be ups and downs but what matters is how you deal with it. live life in such a manner that later on you have no regrets. we can always try to spread joy among those around us and probably this will lead to a more satisfied life......a truly happy life....
