"Dad, as the days pass, my remembering you is increasing, the memories that you and I shared are decreasing. Not because I am forgetting you, I am just understanding better as I am getting older. Why you were scolding me, why you narrated those anecdotes, why you took me to functions & weddings and made me say "Hi" and greet people when I didn't want to and why you coaxed me to dance when you saw any empty stage. You pushed work aside in the mornings to take me to learn dance, karate, swimming and what not. For me to get rid of my fear of water, even before I learnt swimming, you pushed me into water of 16 feet depth. Whenever I sat idle in front of you, you kept saying, "Hey loafer, be active, go someplace dressed smart". As a kid you scared me with a whip, but as time progressed you spoke to me with your arms around my shoulder, I understand why only now. Every month when I have to pay the rent, pay for groceries and household expenditures, every time I see someone drink sugarless coffee in SLV, every time I have to say "Son of" in applications or agreements, every time someone comes home to invite us, every time I take a new loan, every once a month when I stand in front of the mirror to get a clean shave and trim my moustache, I remember you a lot Dad. I've cursed you, I've cursed you a lot. I've thought to myself in isolation, "Why did leave us and go?". Every time I struggle to decide on something, every time I try to find someone to console me when I'm sad, I've cursed you a lot for not being around. 

The last time I saw you, you were in the ICU, you were unable to speak, I lied to you saying you'll be fine, you smiled back very innocently. Right after that, I gave you a piece of tissue and pen which was right next to you, you tried to say a lot through your writing, but you managed to just write "All the best", after this and till your last breath, your eyes were seeing just me. I can never forget that. 

Your last days are troubling me but your death is the truth and life without you has become routine. Lot of people have forgotten you, but people who remember you visit home often. And remember how you sat at the corner of that sofa, read the newspaper and called people up before leaving for work? I do the exact same thing now. Like this, I've made your routine mine or rather, it has become mine. I feel sad about going to work sometimes as it reminds me of how you went to office with dwindling vision. I keep motivating myself, you struggled a lot for me to not become like you in many ways, but now, I struggle to become like you in many ways. And like this, the memories that you and I shared are decreasing, the memories of you not being around are growing. Dad, I miss you a lot. But stay like this in our memories. Thanks Dad."
