Veda ...


“ ……  I don’t want to live anymore … “

He was reading part of a letter he wrote 10 years ago on the same day. Then he was done with life with nothing to hope more. Everything felt so blank and there was no light at the end of the tunnel. But few minutes before he was going to do the most stupid thing in his life, his girlfriend stormed into his flat and announced that she was pregnant. And now she was his wife and they are parents to a beautiful girl, Veda.

Every time he sees his daughter, he finds himself thanking his stars for sending her to his life at the right moment. And at that moment he understood that everything happens for a reason and when God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. And for him, it was his little Veda.

    That's an inspiring story. I believe everything does happen for a reason and we have to keep our hope and trust in God to open another door when one of the door closes :)

    Such a sweet story! :) Indeed, there is always a reason for everything, though we may not be aware of it at the time, except in hindsight! ;) <3
