Sadness In My Life
Life, sadness and recovery In the year 1949 I was to experience the most sorrowful time of my life. I did not know it at the time but my father appeared to have had a stroke in May and was taken to the hospital. Later, we learned that he had passed away. I could not believe it. After we received the news we sat around silently. One of our neighbours came to our house. She put us children together in our front room and prompted us to cry, at the loss of our father. My father’s body was brought into the house. I was led to the room where the body lay but then I was prevented from entering the room and seeing him.

That then became my new family and I was very happy with it. However one day I was unfortunate enough to upset him. My sister and I had a silly quarrel and I hit her.

He never had any conflict with anyone in the house. My Mamaji was the one who pulled us out of our weakened state of existence and guided us through our lives, till we initiated our careers. He was a very gentle, considerate and lovable
