MEMORIES OF MY BELOVED FATHER LATE KHALID HUSSAIN SAMOON WHO DIED ON 9TH OF OCTOBER 2021 AFTER A BRIEF ILNESS.

                                         Memories of you my beloved Father, remind me of what a great person you were. The love you had given to all family members was heavenly. Every day now has become so hard without you. I am trying to forget the pain of your absence. Dad, you were not just a father; you were my best friend. I lost both at once. Sister Huma, Brother Shahid Samoon, and mother Sajda Usmani miss you always. Among all the children, daughter Amama cries every time while remembering you. Aneesa, Ibaad, and Jawad miss you very much. I myself do not understand, how can I forget your memories. It would be good for me if these memories stayed with me till my death. How good it would be if you were still among us today. How can I forget your Valuable advices which are always a guiding force for me. On the day I lost you, I lost everything, I lost a beloved father, a caring friend, and an idol who I looked up to. Dad, I miss you always.

Your Son
