The pursuit of happiness is a chase for a lifetime..

..and I waited to hear the sob


..she clinged to my leg as I doored out of the infirmary..

Had a smile on her face, smile of faith and belief..self-belief, her prayers weren’t barren..she thought…
My affirmative dialogue with the doctor gave her ample reasons to assume that I am the savior……ill-fated innocent!

How I wish I could really be the savior, the angel she waited for…the smile that she gave me, the twinkle in the eye, the spark to see her ‘daddy dear’ talk to her again…how I wish…….tongue-tied !! And I returned with no victory over her loss…my blood had gone void in his veins…and no life still??

“I have no answers to your questions, sweetheart”

My heart almost sank when I gathered courage to even imagine this little girl see her father no more…and she thought god listens to all prayers, ah !

Enough of waiting she’d had and then she broke inside the room…and I…

And I waited to hear the sob…

VERY SAD:) Nice blog though!

I'm deeply touched. And I really wish we had answers to the questions that werent voiced.

I still believe that God listens to prayers, but then, He has His own ways of listening to them. Ways we cant understand, and ways, which we feel are not right. But then, nothing's beyond the Supreme, and we humans must learn to accept his dominance.

This is really touching. When someone faces this kind of situation - Where questions are to answered themselves..there arent any answers by others!
