THERE IS A CITY IN MY HEART PA … WHERE YOU ARE THE ONLY POPULATION 💔
“Stand up and fight !!” …. Is what my soldier dad always told me…. This image was my dad’s favourite, it was on the day of my brother’s passing out parade at IMA, #dehradoon
I am so proud to be a war heroes daughter. It was not easy being an infantry officers daughter. My father was away defending the country most of my life, I lived in the fear that every goodbye was our last. But he never ever stopped being a good father… One of the strongest motivating forces behind all my accomplishments my father made me a strong woman.
On his death anniversary, it still seems unbelievable that I will never hear his booming voice again. My heart still aches in sadness, my silent tears still flow, for what it meant to loose you no one will ever know.
My Mom ( Dr Meeta Jaitly) Seen here in this photograph could not bear the death of her soulmate and also passed away few months after dad’s untimely death leaving a massive void in our lives. They fell in love at Lucknow command hospital after the 1971 war where my dad was recovering from bullet and shrapnel injuries… They fought the cross cultural and religious conflict just to be together. They taught me n my brother the true definition of love for each other and for the country. My mother insisted on spending the last few days of her life at the military command hospital in Lucknow where they first met, until my brother n I moved her to Sahara Sheher to breath her last surrounded by family…. She constantly told me she was waiting for him to come n get her, she was waiting for a glimpse of his uniform 💔
Sharing what he always told people :
💔If you want to honour a soldier,be the kind of Indian worth fighting for💔
Remembered with love, honour and respect by his daughter, son, grandsons, son-in-law and all the men he commanded and served with.
