Cruel Verdict of Unpredictable Destiny!

It was a disappointing day, today, that begun with the news of unfortunate demise of a young relative, only child of old parents.

She had been struggling for more than a couple of years against a disease that affects one in a billion globally.

Doctors at AIIMS, as a last resort, operated upon her, but unsuccessfully, and today at 6 AM she finally succumbed to the cruel verdict of destiny.

In a way she was relieved from unbearable pains and agonies, but for parents, it happened to be an abrupt end of a wonderful relationship that life can ever bless us with: Parents and children.

The pains of losing only child can never be described in words, but having watched it for several hours, behind a composed face of her father, I wonder how fragile and unpredictable is life as such.

Life will never be same again for them, her parents, especially at this age, accepting the fact and then living with it.

All I can hope and pray is: May God give them enough strength and courage to look beyond and live a peaceful life!
