Father's Day 2019

By -

This year's Father's Day was a solemn occasion. We didn't celebrate it this year since dad passed away a few days before. I remembered sitting on the sofa, scrolling through twitter when I came across a trending topic, Father's Day. Everyone was wishing their dad and there I was, wishing to none. My eyes started to water and my brother noticed.

He asked me, "What's wrong?"
I just said, "Today's Father's Day".
Then he gave me a hug saying, "Yeah, I know."

My dad passed away on 13th of June, merely 7 days after his birthday. I did wish him on his birthday saying, "Hey dad, you know what day is today? It's your birthday! Happy Birthday, dad."
He did let out a little smile acknowledging my wish. But he didn't say anything.
Also, we had no cake for his birthday this year. We had nothing. He can't keep anything down but water. I should've noticed that something is off. But I shrugged it off thinking that he'll get better.

But was I wrong.

To dad,
I miss you. You were a great dad. You taught me how to learn English since I was in Primary. You were so proud of me when I got 8As on PMR. You backed me up when people were threatening me. You were never upset with me even when everyone was. You were always on my side. Thank you so much dad.

I've been dreading to write this post. Just because. But now I am. Yesterday marks the 50th day of his passing. Here's to everyone reading, please recite Al-Fatihah for my dad. Thank you so much.

Grieving daughter.

 I hope no one would read this blog. Ever. I use this blog to say things I would never say to anyone, because saying it could have impacted me perversely. So, it's better for me to keep what I want to say to stay hidden from other people's eyes or knowledge as it would benefit no one, at least at the point I'm writing this. Children. A huge gift for those who are able to negate it. A burden and a sin to those who are not able to, despite bringing them to this world by choice. A choice. Bringing a child into this world is definitely a choice. Chose to get married. Chose to make love. Chose to have a child. Chose to have more child. And another. And another.  What would be the reason why parents stop having children? Is it, I cannot financially support them anymore? Or is it I cannot be bothered to stay up at night looking after them, changing their diapers, feeding them, burping them, all those things young parents do? Or is it, I just cannot have another young mind I can sh
