Father of 10 children (6 sons and 4 daughters) admitted hospital today for operation. I am 6th son of my father and elder brother of 3 sisters. As the youngest son of my father, I don't have more responsibilities as my elder brothers. So, I could complete the highest degree from a private university which was not possible for my other brothers. I can see the world differently while sometimes other members of the family see it opposite.
My father had to start work at an early age when he was 12-13 years old. He did different kinds of work, among them cane equipment making was long term work so far I remember. He was a politician, a community leader, an Arabic reading teacher and social worker. Today he is admitted to a hospital. A few days ago, he broke his femoral head after falling down from his bed. He needs an operation called Hip Replacement Surgery which will help him to walk again.
He leads many movements and sacrificed his career, family/personal benefits which turned positive in our community. He was born in 1948. He is well known as one of the first and most active protesters of Surma river erosion movement. It was 1983 when Surma river erosion was dangerous than ever it was. Surma river was getting bigger our many houses and roads were grabbing by the monsters river. All the area was in danger to have vanished including our only house by the river. My father and other community leaders started to talk with govt. officials but no one was talking proper steps to stop the river's aggression.
My father started a fasting movement alone near the river when one of my brothers was born. He denied coming home to welcome his 4th son and kept the fasting continue. Within 3 days, the ministry of finance came to visit him that time and feed him with a commitment to solve the issue. With few weeks, govt initiatives took place and he could save 5000 people from the danger of river Surma.
He was featured in many national and local newspapers for his activities and earned a reputation for many social activities.
I have seen a lot of people could study free for his request in schools. But so far I remember, he never afforded to take us market to buy any clothes. He was not able to send us any luxury school for education. His personal sacrifice for society paid him with poverty. He was a candidate for "union member" 1 time but faild to win for 4 votes. He was also teaching Holy Quran reading for slum children in our area. But I found him more strong at his voice was a friend of poor people.
I can't imagine how difficult riverside it was. He collected a lot of newspapers copies so his children feel proud of him. To be honest, as children we was not satisfied sometimes when we were waiting for school fees, was waiting for food at night and slept before he reach home. I remember his hard-working life. It was very rare to see him in any vehicales. He walked KMs to work every day and we were not able to undertand how a father meet his responsibility. I am so lucky that I got chace to take care of him, pay his treatment fees and love him as he loved us during our childhood.
May be I will not able to make posts very often as I have to stay hospital at night. Hope You all have great days.
