Losing a parent is like losing your heart, only you’re alive, to live with the pain for the rest of your life. I’m sorry to be so blunt, but so is life and it so much more testing. At times, it mocks you in the face, and the rest is elusive; gone before you even get the time to realise what you’ve lost!

Wondering why am I saying all this? Well, I chanced upon a eulogy and it is hard to not to shed a tear. It is hard not to share…

Bollywood actor Sonu Sood just shared a moving post in the loving memory of his father and it’ll move you.

Dear Dad,
It’s 7th Feb, a date that I don’t want to remember, a date that I will never forget till my last breath. 7th Feb the day I reached Moga 2 years ago to see u. Still, remember the whole day, my journey from Chandigarh to Moga, I was constantly chatting with you on phone! How excited I was, like a Kid who got his first break from his hostel to see his parents. And then I reach our Moga house with you welcoming me with the best smile in the world. Those moist eyes spoke so much. I knew you were waiting for me like always but this time…it was different. Maybe only you knew that this was our final meeting. 
Whatever you said was like a life’s last lesson from a dad to his son who was going to face the world alone from the very next day…but to tell you the truth dad I am still not ready to face this world without you and will never be ready ever. God always made me believe that u were immortal and I know you are but without you around us, we feel so lost. There is no one left who will guide me, tell me what’s wrong, motivate me, teach me the lessons of life. There is no one dad who will watch my films again n again n again on a loop…despite telling you not to.
Dad I miss those scooter rides, miss the times when you would go especially to get fresh juice for me. There is no one to give me soaked almonds which you fed me with since my childhood till 7th of Feb 2016…on the last day also those almonds were there, soaked with love. Wish you had eaten some but u didn’t Bec u wanted me to have all. 

Dad today when I am shooting for my film Paltan in Chandigarh I am missing you more because I know you would have been beside me on the sets. Just wanna tell you, dad, stay happy wherever u are. I am sure mom will be beside you too. Tell her too that life without both of u is clueless. When someone says ‘sometimes life slips out of your hand’…yes it slipped out of my hands forever.

See u someday for sure! 
Missing u always, 
Sonu.

Hauntingly beautiful, isn’t it?

This is isn’t the first time Sonu has wore his feelings on his sleeve. Earlier he had penned a moving tribute to his late mother with the kindest words.

Only if we knew a way to please time in our favour. Our thoughts are with you Sonu…just know that they’re proud of you…wherever they are. *hugs*
