picture snapped by me
Thinking about my saddest now still gets me emotional and sad because I never imagined that life would be unfair at my end even though I know generally that life it's unfair and have watched it play unfair games to people around me but I thought mine would be any different, not because I'm special but for the person closest to me.
It was on a Thursday, March 3rd 2016, called my dad so many times and there was no answer, the call was about to tell him that I would be coming home from school and to check up on his health because he has been sick for quite some time. I got worried because there was no answer after trying more than 7 times and no call but my aunt called me back to say he was asleep but something kept telling me something is wrong and I made a decision of travelling earlier than planned.
On my way home, I was worried and hoped his health hasn't gone, that was all I could think of during the whole 2 hours journey going home. Getting home, I saw a lot of cars parked in the front of our house and I thought maybe his friends came to pay him a visit to check up on his health, and some friends were outside with my aunt who picked up the call, I greeted them and I also noticed that her eyes were swollen but I didn't think of the worst that could have happened then just felt maybe it's something else happening to her. I met her.
When I got into the house, I saw some familiar and unfamiliar faces, and at the same time checked around with my eyes to see if I will see my dad but I couldn't and I thought maybe he might be inside resting or something, then my uncle approached me to go inside and drop my bag while he was following me too. When we got inside he asked me to sit down and said he wants to tell me something and he was like "your dad has passed on son" and first I couldn't believe it and pretended that I didn't hear him and he said again "your dad passed away this morning" while grabbing my shoulders.
I was so devastated, speechless, broken, sad and all I was feeling was a pain in an instant like I felt a sharp pain in my heart that tears just started rolling down my cheeks I couldn’t stop it no matter how I try to hold it, that day was the day I never forget not for one bit because it was the saddest moment of my life and he was more than a father but a best friend who I share everything with. Well I know he’s in a better place now and may his soul rest in peace.
Thank You very much for sharing this moment with me
