I wish I could have published this article yesterday as it was the birthday of my son but unfortunately, I couldn't. Because I got busy with some village business like buying groceries for home, visiting our sick relatives. Though I was reluctant to visit them because of Covid, they were not affected by Covid but still 😂.
These are the reasons why I am writing this article today. My son was born on 5th October 2019 right after 2.5 months of my brain surgery. When I got diagnosed with a brain infection and doctor recommended I go through brain surgery. That was the hardest moment for me. I can find words suitable to describe that time of misery. If you want to read about it in detail, read these two articles below.
Should cancer survivors be considered heroes
Long term Complications I have to face after my brain surgeries
When I went through my first surgery, my wife was pregnant. It was the only thing that kept me fighting otherwise I would have lost the will to live. It kept me motivated and not give up.
Everyone from my family was excited because it was the first child born after 29 years. I wanted a child for me and my family especially my father. My father didn't have children for almost more than 22 years and then Allah blessed him with my elder brother and me.
My brother also got married 10 years before but he was not blessed with a child (Luckily he also got blessed with a beautiful daughter too after my son). So it was my father's heartfelt wish to see a grandchild. And thankfully, Allah fulfilled that wish through me.
I had no idea my son would become a stick for me who would help me walk through the time of depression and sadness. Who would make me keep going to see and experience every childish moment of his? And still helping me struggle when times are tough. The feelings of seeing him go to school and achieving everything in life just make me alive.
I remember a relative stated some amazing words to me when he visited us to congratulate us after my son was born. His words were "Allah put you through a test by making you go through surgery, but he blessed you with the most precious blessings by making you a father after that. Remember if you spent all the world's wealth but if it was not written in your destiny, you would have never been blessed with it". His words made me realize how blessed I am. My son is my guardian angel who guarded me otherwise I would have fallen down to the depth of depression and I would have never recovered from illness.
As a father, I have come up with an idea that my father never came up with. And that idea is to capture all the amazing and memorable moments of his childhood in pictures and kept save them as a memory. That's why I save all his photographs and videos on google drive and when he grows up, I will give him access to his memories in sha Allah.
I want to share all his lovely pics because they all are so beautiful for me. But I think I love these photos because I am his father. I just hope you guys would also like his picture.
I would end this article by posting one more smiling and giggling picture of his. 😂
Special thanks to my wife for blessing me with such a wonderful gift. I am so grateful for all the things that you have done for me.S
And in the last, thanks to my son who made me emotionally and mentally stable.
And also Thank you everyone for reading the emotions of a father for his son.
So cute little patoti ❤️😍. Happiest Birthday to your son! To more birthdays to come 😘
