Gratitude


Today someone died, a friend of my dad. He was drunk. This was the first time he consumed liquor after 3 years. Surprisingly, my dad had tried to stop him from drinking today, but he refused. Even I wondered since when he started advising others on this matter. Maybe his inner voice made him do so. And he met with an accident in the least accident prone area. I heard my parents exclaiming how dedicated a husband he was. He quit boozing for his family, cared for his wife more than anyone in the locality because he even used to bath his child and do the chores after his wife's delivery. Theirs' was a love marriage and he was the only one to depend on. And I've seen him toiling to make those  three kids happy. But he is no more.. I don't know how they'll survive, without him. Maybe if he had listened to dad, he could have stayed.

Often I act as if my world is imperishable. If not for God, I wouldn't have had this "world" I am so proud of! Now I wish to thank God, for keeping us alive..for giving me everything despite my sins.
