"I'm not even slightly sad. I am going happily..." - My father said these lines two days ago. When he said this as a sign of the journey that has no return, his face was filled with satisfaction that reflects the meaning of an entire life.
Everyone who is born should die one day. But a person's life becomes complete when he feels at the time of death that it was meaningful. In that sense, I can definitely say that my father departed from this life happily. When he returns with a content heart, everything which his life marked in the society appear in my mind.
He could do many things in life within this period. Though he played different roles in life including that of politician, writer or environmentalist, he tried his best to do his tasks and I have realized it several times. My father was the greatest inspiration in my life. The best blessing in my life is to be born as his son.
