Anybody out there?
It has been so quiet here,hasn't it?
I went through a difficult time of my life and did not feel like blogging.
I lost my dad last month.He was ill and not doing well but we were hoping that he would get well soon.Unfortunately he couldn't make it.
It is difficult being abroad in such times..I am glad that we visited my parents in April and got to see him for the last time.
One of my close friends who also lost her dad years ago,told me that grief, isn't something that will come, last a period of time, then go away. It's like an ocean, sorrow coming in like waves, then receding and coming back when you're not watching, hitting you full force in the back, or slamming you straight in the face. Then, it recedes again.I understand this more and more as time passes.
Well,that is all for now.
I hope you are all well.
Hoping to update with more cheerful posts soon..

Isil, I am so sorry for your loss... I know there is no word to comfort your pain but also know that you will find it in your heart.
My father is in the terminal stage of his illness. He is still surviving but unconsciously.
I remembering all sweet memories that we collected while he was living and this helps me a lot.
