A Precious Gift : Dad


This is my first ever blog post or even me writing anything. I have always wanted to write a book but I don't think that I would be able to and what it would be about..
This blog is all about my thoughts on a dreadful thing that happened to me which I don't share with a lot of people but here I am.. that is, my dad's death.
I know this is a very weird or odd topic to start your very first blog. But well midnight thoughts... and as it was his death anniversary a few days ago so topic still in mind.
It's undoubtedly very difficult for me. There are a lot of things which people do not understand.
People have given me statements like : "Grow Up, you're 18 now.. it happened a long time ago, Move On" OR "People have it worse than you, you lost your dad when you were 13 but many people go through this even before that age" etc.. well to this I can respond in many ways but I don't know if its worth my time. But I would like to add that telling someone they can't be sad because others have it worse is like telling someone they can't be happy because others have it better. And it's not that easy.. the saying "You won't know until you step in the other person's shoe" is absolutely correct.
#No one else would feel the pain.
#No one else would miss the precious moments you shared.
#No one else would feel the emptiness. So its pointless in thinking that people would understand.
And to add onto this, there are a lot of people who sympathize as well or try and support you. There are very few of them but yes just to let you know. We do appreciate that a lot.
I saw a video of a famous British YouTuber Louise ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcxAt4_IGaQ )  she shared a lot of stuff about her mother who passed away because of cancer. After watching that I felt the need to share my point of view on a few things so that people who are just like me or going through the same thing would have some kind of support.

I hope you find it helpful instead of thinking of me cribbing. And let me know if you appreciate me being honset so that in future I would be pumped to write more on happy moments of my life as well.
