US Trip - Dad

I was in India from 18 Dec to 11 Jan and my dad's health was not in good shape. It detoriated day by day. He had a bed sour which became uncontrollable wound. I took him to doctors but it was not cured.

I visited him day before my travel and I had the feeling that it will be the last time I see him alive and it became true today. I didn't expect he will pass away in 10 days of travel . we were expecting for 3-4 months.  He wound became worse and it smelled very badly. He didn't take food for a week . he survived only on liquids.

His last breath was at 9:20 PM IST on 22 Jan 2013. My sister, mother and chinnamma were with him. Bapureddy was also there.

I got a call from Prabodhan at 11:02 AM EST and I was in a meeting with Nikhil. I finished the meeting and left home. Weather was very bad (6F) and I drove slowly. I called amma, akka ,anna and attamma after reaching home.

It's a sad moment... may his soul rest in peace...

If  I have to put things in context in the history, it was the time where Obama took office for the second time, Peak telangana moment in the Hyd, Abhi is about have his first teeth and he started to walk.

Dad

I met dad couple of times this week. It was very unfortunate to see him in that position.. I got a feeling that I mayn't him alive when I back from onsite...

It's more than 5 years he was sick and it became worse since his leg got fractured in last sept. He is feeling depressed and not co-operating with medication . He had a bed sour on his leg and it became very bad.. He had take at least 5 injections every day and he is not enjoying at all...

My mom is taking care of him very well.. hats off to her...  Even though we are trying our best, we don't think he is enjoying his life any more...

We decided to give him best medication for three months and if there is no improvement, we stop all the medication and give him the food he likes and leave it to god...

I'm unable to control my tears thinking about this and I mayn't be come to India in case something bad happens...

10th jan may very well be the last day I saw my dad...  Yesterday his suger levels dropped down to 40...

Am I doing the right thing travelling onsite by leaving my dad in this position ? only time can answer....

Miss you dad... you have done so much for me... you enjoyed my success more than I do.. you used to keep my mark memos in your pocket and show it to all the people you meet... that was the inspiration for me to study well.. I studied well to make you happy... I'm not sure If I met your expectation after my studies..........
