Am I lucky?
I wasn’t sad because the grades were bad. I scored 90%+.
I was sad because when I called Papa at 1:45 to tell him my result, he went silent for 5 seconds and then just said, “Good… it’s really good,” and told me he’d come home a little late today.
That silence broke me.
I knew he was thinking about Maa, and maybe about everything he’s carrying alone now. Neither of us said it out loud, but I could feel it. Her only last wish was to see me successful but she passed away too soon...
I don’t know what I did to deserve him honestly.
Love you Papa 🥺😭🫶
One day I’ll make you proud enough that I can hug you with my head held high like the son you deserve.
