A Reason To Live

I tried and I tried and I tried...but I only died each time. There are days when those memories haunt me til my blood became water. The day I found you dead....that morning when my Universe collapsed. The pain that came from my heart being pierced til it was scarred beyond recognition. When the petals of my life fell down one by one. How my tears turned out to be powerless...how those trails of tears on my cheeks had a deeper meaning...how nothing I did could bring you back. That day, when all the stars in the sky cried too. When your laughter faded away in the cold cold breeze...when your touch ceased to exist...when your love was the only thing left behind. That day when I started to learn how empty it is to be living without my father. How I'd dream of finding you in heaven and calling out your name. When life taught me that people don't last forever...and that some people can never be replaced by others. When I realised that you'd want me to go on somehow...that what you wanted from me is to be a champion against tragedy. You wanted me to find a reason to live. That day, when my eyes started to see beyond what the naked eyes could see. That day when the only reason I live for became you.


A teardrop from heaven
A distant voice from the past
A love that never dies
A spirit burning so fast...
A hug in silence
A calling from afar
A touch that is felt
A soul with a scar...

  2. I like The Reason by Hoobastank. Hey, I hope all's well with you. Take care.

    By the way, the picture of Plumeria is beautiful. I like those flowers, it is also called Frangipani, and is a common sight in the coastal areas of Sri Lanka.:)

  5. M speechless keshi...Its hard to say anything...even the "i'm sorry for ur loss" followed by encouraging words sounds so lame when the loss is big as this.

    N isnt it amazing how sorrow n sadness brings out the best writer in almost every1.

    well...my turn to give u hugs, a warm one.the last few days hvn't been easy on u..hope this phase goes away sooooooon!

  8. the only person i've lost who was that close to me was my grandpa. i was 5 when he died. i came back home from school. the door was open and he was the first thing i saw. i think about him a lot, its hard not to, he was my best friend, and was always there. he picked me up from school, took me out, introduced me to all his friends, we did everything together. when i do think about him, i think about the time we spent having fun, i think about his smile, i think about the stories he used to tell me, i think about all the hours we spent playing kabaddi. i think he'd want me to remember that we were inseparable and nothing could ever change that. even now we are, because i can be with him anytime i want, i just need to think about him. its bad that he can't be here now, but some things just happen, and this is all i can do about it. i know its okay to cry, but i can't. because every time i think about him, it brings a smile to my face

    i don't know what to say to you...here's a *hug* from me. tc, i'll cya

    ReplyDelete
  9. just said this to Solitaire ...a cliche statement but so very very true that "GOD calls upon good people early to his world ..."

    m sure your dad must be around you all the time blessing you and taking care of you ....

  10. *hug* in the classic Munnabhai MBBS Funda I am crossing all my fingers and hoping you feel better!
    Its a wonderful tribute to a father, that a daughter does not become a success in life by moving, with little or no thoughts to him; but journeys onwards with his memories as her strength.

  11. Keshigirl... I don't need to tell you the words... I feel it..
    Now I'm unbearably sad again. Sometimes its so unfair, no?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Noooooooooooo Keshi ma'am what is this...whts up huh... U all sad n senti....why ??? Leave it...There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it. So dnt feel bad for the things gone by..and dont get too expectful thinking of things too come..just lay back and enjoy... and be in touch with samby... thts is important..LOL...

    i hope i made u smile..or feel better..take care.!!!

  16. Girl...this is heart-wrenching. And reminds me so much of a person. So very much.

    Sometimes we are around ppl, and we love being around them...but seldom tell them that. And then they walk away without knowing how you felt about them. And then all we are left with is regrets.

    **When life taught me that people don't last forever...and that some people can never be replaced by others.**

    I miss that someone so much now. But there's nothing that can really be done.

    A very touching post sweets. Love you.

  17. Hi Keshi!
    The Universe has plans for each of us. Nothing happens without a purpose.
    (really... I don't understand it very often)

    May everyday your heart be in harmony with a song from the Universe!
    /I wish myself too/

  26. yes Stygian its abt my dad. He's the only reason I live for right now...his memory. Nothing else, nobody else matters to me..not even myself.

    He was a great man...one who helped so many ppl and expected NOTHING in return. And he was just 44 when he died in his sleep. I dun ever wanna forget him...thats why I relive his memories thru my blog. Until I die, I will never let his memory fade.


    **why are you feeling the blues lately?

    I dunno. I hv realised I cant trust anyone anymore. Not even in Blogville. I used to hv alot of faith in this place. Not anymore. Im beginning to detach from here too. Except for few ppl here, the rest r bloody fake. I dunno...lets see how I go.

    U said it the best. yes, all of what I am today, I owe em to my dad's memory. None of this matters much to me cos the only thing that drove me in becoming who I am today is HIS MEMORY. And from time to time, I stop and say Hello to him. Cos I can never forget.

  50. Hi Keshi

    On the heels of the anniversary of the disappearance of a friend whose body was later found and with thoughts of the loss of my parents, we laid to rest another friend today. Sometimes death can be a blessing when the person is suffering. Our friend was suffering for what seem like an eternity. In fact somewhere along way we lost our friend when dementia reared its ugly head, causing him to forget his family and friends. To see a person waste away is very sorrowful to watch.

    I’m going to write a post dealing with our friend who died last year. There have been no answers to what happened to him. Investigators have exhausted all the avenues. The investigation has puzzled the top forensic experts in the world. Maybe it will be a‘Death with No Answers’.

    I know how sad the loss of your father is for you. All we can do is be strong and keep living our lives the best we can.

    this sounds cynical, but true- "dont trust anyone but yourself". people tend to do the opposite.

    he would be proud of u...

    ReplyDelete
  68. The day that i found him dead was not the saddest day for me.. the day i found the reason to live his dreams was the day i was really haunted..

    i stil yearn for the day when i can say,"Appa I wish you could see me today and think I never knew my lil daughter could make me so proud"..
    Cos my dad was someone i really loved but always felt i din know if he really loved me as much.. my dad favored my sister more than me.. that always hurt but still my love for him is enough for the both of us.. :)

    I know he must hav loved me just as much but i never got a chance to really get to know that from him!

    The reason for me to keep going is the one he gave me.. to show that i don resemble him in just his looks but also in the person that he was.. sweet and caring!

    I loved the post Keshi!
    And I know what you mean. after all who is a better champion of tragedy but you?

  87. Hi,Keshi..I was really touched by this post.
    **that what you wanted from me is to be a champion against tragedy. You wanted me to find a reason to live.**

    I think you got the answer you needed,in your own post.

    You know what? It'll be the day my Mom passed away,on 31.05. And,well,I can't say anything further.Perhaps I'll post about it,perhaps not..that day was probably the worst in my life.

  89. Hello Keshi... First visit here... found your blog through my other friends Cinderella and Single...

    I can relate so to what made you write those words. I lost my Dad when I was 15 and I miss him everyday. Although it made me a better man, there is nothing better to have had him around to see the man that I have become.

    A prayer for the faithful departed.

    take care Keshi... Cheers...

  104. @Keshi : Try not to take things to heart. Easier said i know.Hard to do. But hang in gurl.

    i personally feel relationships are built over time...i have often felt that all the overnite friendships that is made in blogsphere n the sugar coated words that some people use is fake.

    I'm not sure wat happened in ur case,but if sum1 who doesn't know u well enuf' is making comments abt u, do try to ignore them. They don't deserve so much attention n energy frm u.

    Do Take care n return to ur normal self soooooon!

  110. You had a great father for 44 years,that is to me unbelievable.How GOD must love you to give you a father for all those years and love you,freckles and all.But,I trust GOD that it was best for me not to have a father like you.

    Please,write about him and your relationship with him,will you?It will help you heal and it will satisfy the hunger I have to have an earthly,loving,kind and caring dad that loves me in a realistic way.

    But,I'm not bitter,as I Know I have a FATHER in heaven that loves me.

  113. ty so much Caz!

    I achieved alot in my life by myself...after his death. And sometimes it makes me sad that he's not here to witness any of that. I really want someone to share my achievements with...someone who really is happy for me. And he was the only one.

  114. Arv hey WC here and tnxx mate!


    **I lost my Dad when I was 15 and I miss him everyday.

    Im so sorry to hear that. I lost him when I was 16 too...just a month short of his 44th bday.


    **Although it made me a better man, there is nothing better to have had him around to see the man that I have become.

    Exactly how I feel! I achieved so much alone after his death...but none of that makes me happy cos the most imp man in my life is not here to see em.

  117. Rantra hey tnxx! Sorry to make ya cry tho :)


    **a father means the world to a woman, and he can never be replaced

    Thats so true.

    I feel so empty w.o. him in my life...cos more than my mum, he's the one who was interested in my studies etc. He was always making sure I was having fun, doing my best in everything I did...most of all he taught me how to be brave, compassionate and how to stay true to life.

  134. Kristen its ok I got wut u said. :) He was 44 when he died and I was only 16.


    **I pray that I will die in my sleep,like your dad,anytime,I'm ready,right now, I look forward to dying.

    u wont die now hunny. HUGZ!

    btw I too think dying in my sleep is a peaceful one. But we dun get to choose how we die...sadly.

    My dad died gracefully...peacefully in his sleep....not even a hush...he was so peaceful as I tried to wake him up in the morning...he didnt look like he was dead...looked like he was dreaming abt a far away land...a land where he'll hv no more worries.


    ok Im crying now..sorry Kris!

  137. Keshi dear
    I dug out this poem that I wrote about 5 years ago....my dad has been gone for quite a few years, but I still miss his very much and he's always in my heart....I thought you might like the poem... it always gives me peace when I read it.

    REMEMBERED HANDS

    My father's hands were long, palms finely lined,
    Showing the thinker, teacher, lover of truth.
    Yet they were strong and large
    hands accustomed to toil
    they could handle horses well
    for they were masterful, but kind.

    In my earliest childhood they led me gently
    and strongly lifted me.
    One incindent so plainly etched in memory
    a young girl unsued to pain
    with my hand in his it could be borne
    his suffering was as mine.

    Down through the years that handclasp was for me
    something to tie to.
    And to others, friendhip, honesty and strength.

    At last his earthly work was finished.
    As he approached the valley where
    each was go alone
    his hand through days and sleepless
    nights
    still clung to mine
    as mine had clung to his in infancy.

    And now though years have passed
    when night brings dreams to bless
    I feel his hand in mine.

    love
    -Margie
    P.S Nitey nite and have a wonderful weekend.
