A Father's Final Farewell

It started as a small fever. We thought it was just a routine checkup.

But the diagnosis changed everything. It was Covid. They had to isolate him immediately.

I didn't know that handshake at the lift would be the last time I touched

him. The hospital called late that night. He was gone before I could

say goodbye. They performed his last rites. I could only watch from behind

the glass, helpless. He was my strength, my world.

Now, he lives only in my heart and memories.
