My child,

Sometimes, I used to look at my shoes, worn-out, faded and dusty, but I ended up wearing the same the next day.

Sometimes, I was lured by a brand new shirt hanging on the display of a showroom, but after glancing at its price tag, I settled for a cheaper one or I just gave up on the idea of buying one.

Sometimes, I got exasperated of kicking my old scooter again and again and thought of buying a new one, but I eventually ended up repairing it myself.

Sometimes, there was too much work on my shoulders and I felt like giving it up, but I ended up working for a few hours more.

There is an endless list of sacrifices that I have made for you, to give you a bright future, to see you shine, my child.

But I never thought that you will forget all these sacrifices and end your life just because of a mere failure.

For the first time, I pity myself because you were my child; I pity all the sacrifices that I have made for you. Neither did you deserve any of it and nor did I, because for whom I had endured all this is no more.

You were my source of endurance; you were my hope. And the day you left me, I didn't find any reason to continue.

You were my pride, but now you are the reason why my head hangs in shame. You were my strength, but you left me helpless. You were my hope, and now I am hopeless.

All I hope now is for time to fly quickly so that the pain of your absence doesn't kill me every single day.

Always yours,

Once a Proud Dad.
