Baachu Story - A Tale of Two Battles: A Son's Tribute to his late father and A Thanksgiving Reflection - Episode 32

Scribble Talk

Hello everyone, Baskar Sundaram here. In this deeply personal and emotional episode, I take you through two significant journeys of my life - the battle my beloved father waged against Myeloma, and the path of gratitude I tread every day.

Join me as I share the intimate details of my father's struggle with Myeloma and the effects it had on me, both as a son helplessly watching a loved one suffer and as a father striving to shield my own children. I vividly recount the tribulations of taking up my first interim role while battling chicken pox and the life-altering impact it had on me.

I dive into the depths of my memories, sharing moments from my father's final years - heartrending, poignant deathbed scenes that have since become engraved in my heart. Through his dedicated efforts to educate his children using his savings, my father taught me lessons that went beyond academia, lessons of sacrifice, love, and resilience. This episode serves as my tribute to him.

In the latter half of this emotional journey, I shift gears to something more uplifting - Thanksgiving Day. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to my family, friends, and every individual who's made a difference in my life.
I delve into the essence of the old saying, "If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is 'Thank You', it will be enough", underlining the immense power of gratitude. I encourage you to find your points of gratitude, even amidst the challenges, and truly embrace the spirit of Thanksgiving.

So, bring your tissues and tune in for a journey filled with profound emotions, lessons, gratitude, and a deeper appreciation for the ties that bind us.
