The greatest man in my life

It had been a year since papa left to a more peaceful place.  4th april 2007.  I really hate that day till now and often i  felt that life is so unfair, having to take away something so precious in my life.  He taught and shown me what is real love...and that real love does exist, it is in the family.  he had also shown us that love is giving without asking anything in return.  The unconditional love that he showered to everyone and esp his wife and kids.  

one year, and yet it seems like it was just yesterday.  the pain of losing someone so dear is still so fresh.  that day sis was packing and she came across a slip of email that i had written to pa abt my thesis when i was in UK and how he had helped me redraft certain parts of it, she kept it and gave it to me and said, "tot u might want to have this."  I took one look at it and that instance, every bit of my feelings for pa just came rushing back, tears filled my eyes instantly and i cried and i knew i couldn't read on.  i kept that piece of email without finishing it.  i knew i wasn't ready to face it.  I wasn't ready too today when i went to his tomb.  i told pa, my greatest regret is not telling him, how great a father he had been to us, how much i love him.   it wasn't his last few weeks that i said i love him.  but it wasn't enough.  

Papa thank you for your guidance and love.  you're the greatest dad and i am so glad to be ur daughter.
