Dad’s Demise
While Dad wanted a son so much, his wish being fulfilled, he could never see him grow up to be a man. He maintained his diet very carefully all along and also exercised by walking swiftly in a nearby park from our home. It was the people in the park who misguided him.
They told him: Eat as much as you like while you still exercise.
Dad no more paid attention to his diet and ate voluminously. It was not long before he became obese. While we tried to give him the message that he ought to keep his health under control, he still believed the people in the park and went about his own way.
He had his first heart attack in 1997 and he had three more. His fourth heart attack did not let him survive, and he succumbed to it, breathing his last in 1998.
