To my dear father on the anniversary of your loss
|
To my dear father:
It occurred to me ,yesterday, 7/27/05, that it has been exactly 1 year since I had seen you, just a few days before your final departure on 8/2/04........I still remember that last day at the airport when I hugged you and looked at you from a distance long after we had parted thinking this is probably the last time I will see you....and quickly shrugging off that feeling away......only to realize it was very real
It has been a very difficult year my father....full of challenges and surprises...some expected....and some truly unexpected......Not long after your death, we fell into that spiral of events that has now become commonplace in Sudan...the harsh realities of living without a father....that dark lonely feeling of being orphaned....We were thrust into the maze of family law and litigation ...and rights and wrongs....and oh how wise you were my dear father........It seems "Adam and Eve and the apple"....are still amongst us.....but you already knew that.....I was reminded by the scene you enacted at the silver jubilee anniversary of Port Sudan High Secondary School of Marc Anthony after he realized the ultimate betrayel from Brutus....
I harbour no hatred ...just distrust....no bleeding wounds...but a permanent scar
Our faith was tested...our spirits were wounded... We were reminded daily of your loss.... But we persevered....we remembered your words about inner strength...you said we should always maintain a reserve of inner strength that will strengthen us in challenging times...As you wrote that cryptic message in your daughters diary many years ago..."When the going gets tough, the tough get going"
You always looked at adversity as " A Blessing in disguise"......and we have now begin to reap those blessings and understand that truly the scheme of events is planned in such an intricate way...sometimes we just have to let things happen
I realized my dear father although we miss you deeply...we are happy for you....you have left this world as you lived it with dignity, pride, and majesty...never a burden... always the ultimate caretaker...the leader...the fighter...the poet...the scientist....the genuine truly unique person you were who never forgot where he came from ....who truly new where he was going...to a far better place
Thank you my father, on behalf of my mother and siblings, for allowing us to realize our reserves of inner strength....for instilling in us a deep love for our home Sudan....for always reminding us that God has a plan and it is always right....for loving our children more than life itself
May you continue to rest in piece amongst the angels in the heavens
Your loving daughter Always Hala

Dear Halla, With those mixed feelings of joy and sorrow I managed to feel your wounded spirit, your endless love to your dearest father. Joy, because you brought absence to presence and were able to spiritually whispering in his warm heart. Sorrow because I’ve felt the sadness and the emptiness of a life without a loving Father.
Dear Halla, Please accept my deepest condolences and allow me to thank your father for passing his wisdom to us..."When the going gets tough, the tough get going”

الاخت العزيزة / هاله خوجلي
هالني خبر وفاة الوالد الغالي الدكتور / خوجلي اسكنه الله فسيح جناته ، و لقد تسنى لي قراءة مقالك في ذكراه السنوية ، فصممت أن اشترك في المنبر لنقل تعازي- و الشكر موصول للاخ بكري - و ليس ذلك فقط انما لتاكيد باني معك و تاكدي ان كلامي هذا ليس على سبيل المجاملة لاني اشعر بعمق ما كتبتي ، صدقيني ربما اختلفت الظروف و لكن المأساة مشتركة ، كل من عشنا معهم في الكويت نحس بأنهم اشقاؤنا و شقيقاتنا بالفعل ، لقد كنا جميعا اسرة واحدة بدون شك ، لقد مر كثير منا بمحن اختلف عمقها او لم يختلف لكن الاحساس بالاسى كان عميقا ...... لكن سنة الله في خلقه تبدل الاحوال من حال الى اخر ...... و ربما في كل حال عبرة و درس يقوي ايمانا بالله و يزيد منا صلابة و حبا لذوينا و اخواننا و مجتمعنا ..... دعينا اختي العزيزة النظر في ما جرى بانه قدر محتوم و ان البقاء لله ، و اعلم بانك انسانه قادرة على الاستفادة من المحن بشكل ايجابي .....زز تعازي للاسرة الكريمة و الاخ الفاضل مصطفى ....... قد تستغربي لماذا لم اسمع بالخبر ....... لاني منذ 1993 يونيو في سلطنة عمان - حضرت الى السودان مرة واحدة في 2000م .
اخوك دوما
الصادق محمد البوصيري
