Dad

Intensive-care unit :  that's how I get abbreviation of ICU while I goggled it. I was never admitted there & I hope I never will be. But I saw my dad there for seven days before he died. I can remember how shocked I was when I saw him first time in that hospital's bed as senseless. The only word I said was "Oh My Allah!" 

Life in ICU was really different from my known world. 

At day 1: I saw a patient next to my dad's bed. She was talking and let her family know about her discomfort. I was wishing if my dad could open his eyes for once; just told us what his discomfort; just like the lady next to his bed!

At day 2: I didn't saw that lady ever. She died in the morning! 

In those 7 days, I felt like everyone of my family, my mother, my brother, my sis & me, we lost something apart from my dad. We are never the same person any more.
I never thought I will ever miss my dad the way I am still missing him. I never thought  that I will also like to follow some of my dad's footsteps. I start realizing the worthiness of some of his deeds that I used to see him doing.

I have promised something to myself during that time. And dad, I will fulfill all of those, InsAllah.
I love you and I will love you always.
