Sidharth Malhotra's father passes away

[goose]

i don't normally indulge in random people dying. but this has got to me! in his last years he was wheelchair bound and his hands and movements suggest a severe neurological condition. my father was exactly the same in 2012. but the mind was strong and functioning as well as ever. so i granted his last wish and took him on a holiday of a lifetime to delhi. he met his 4 brothers he'd fallen out with (you guessed it property!) we navigated the cobbled broken streets of delhi, and all the sites, all his his wheechair. i must have hoisted him in and out of his wheelchair a thousand times to get him n the back of taxis. we even went on the delhi metro. people would stare. it seemed like pushing an old parent around in a wheelchair was some sort of crime. anyway, it remains the best year of his life and mine too. we turned his ilness into a gift! oh same surname too as siddarth .

Good fathers can often be taken for granted by sons though.

This is the best post I’ve read on ICF. Ever.

Touched me deeply.

 

A father couldn’t ask any more from his child. 

 

It is mentioned in the Surah al Israh of the Holy Quran that service of parents is immediately after service of Allah. And that the highest grade of paradise is reserved for those who take care of their parents without even the slightest hint of frustration.

Beautiful.

 

Cherish your parents for as long as you have them. I dread the day when I want to speak to my mother and father and they are no longer there.

 

I've been quietly collecting Whatsapp messages, pictures and videos of all interactions with my parents. A time capsule of sorts, when they leave for their heavenly abode.

I was pretty young when I lost him, right out of college. Even now I feel there are so many things Ivcould have discussed or talked about before it’s late.. My advice would be to not have any regrets in relationships. Not every day you only think like this of being vulnerable , and you will still fall into the same issues, grievances expectations, that fall below and leads to arguments. Probably such is life.
