Time, they tell us is a healer, but these 5 months have been truly, a challenge.
Sometimes, I wonder,if it is getting better at all...
It is tough for parents who have lost a child tragically, to understand:
.why he was snatched away when he was just stepping out of our shadows?
.why are we so reckless with others lives?
.why our public safety systems do not ensure safety of lives?
.why it takes forever to get justice?
.why we put such a low value to the cost of a young life/ a life?
.why all the prayers his Mom does for the family's safety, did not work that day?
.why destiny,as some say, has a cruel turn for some?
.why he will not be there in the years ahead, when we possibly need him most?
.why all the years of grooming his character has gone waste?
.why the first experience of death in the immediate family, can be so traumatic?
.why his younger sister,with all her challenges, has to now comfort us that she is there for us?
.why she can't understand why this happened to us?
.why she needs to go through the trauma of missing her buddy and friend?
It's tough for parents who have brought up a child for 23 years to understand
We will possibly never have an answer to some or more of these.
Akhil, I hope you are in peace, wherever you are!
Miss you,take care...
