I miss my dad

I miss/missed my papaji,

When I awake up in the morning
When the city opened up
When corona cases decreased
When corona cases increased
When we drink tea
When I got a cold
When I wanted chocolates
When I was awarded at office
When something went wrong in office
When Diwali was impending
When it was Diwali
When the last year with him ended
When the new year when I would never see him started
When Lohri was impending
When it was Janamashtmi
When I just wanted to talk
When the workday ended
When Lata Mangeshwar passed away
When Shane Warne passed away
When the war started
When it was my late grandparents' birthday
When the little one did well
When the little one looked like him
When I look in my mum's eyes
When my husband remembers him
When we eat fruit
When we talk to family
When anyone loses anyone close
When I see some parent with their child even on TV
When I read or look at my bookshelf
When I dream of him
When I remember the dreaded day
When my heart palpitates
When I am confused
When I need advice
When I sit in the on the couch where I would talk to him
When I am on the road
When I walk
When I listen to old songs
When I think of his or my impending birthdays
When something good happens
When something bad happens
When I look in the mirror
I miss him, everyday.
