…So, maybe they are right those who say that I was
Dad and I, page 94
blessed to be present in that hospital room on the
morning of August 13, 2021, after all. The memory of
my Dad taking his final breaths on this side of eternity
will always be etched in my mind and I am sure that
how I feel about it will always vacillate between good
and bad. At the same time, the question about how a
man so full of life can be dead will never haunt me again
because now I know that rather than death consuming
life, what I witnessed in that room that morning was life
taking on newer and better forms.”
