Unseen, unknown territory.... unexplainable feelings

DEATH. What does it mean? Rather what does it feel like? Last February I was in Delhi where my father was undergoing his second heart operation. One evening I saw this cute little girl,One of the cutest faces I had ever seen, playing with my father, who was doing his post surgery recovery. Later my father told me that she has a hole in the heart which can not be corrected and all the doctors have given up. I do not know who to feel bad for more, the little angel or her parents, who knew their little angel has a very short time with them? Perhaps the worst kind of mental torture a parent can go through! A known terminal illness.

I do not know, why today I was reminded of that little girl. I do not know if she is still braving her illness or if she has succumbed. But hers is a face, I doubt I will ever forget. And I wish all the best to your parents and to you, where ever you are, LITTLE ANGEL.
