accepted my circumstance. I don’t have much time left. But I am fulfilled... I
want to be remembered as a son, a father who did his best to reach out,
remember me as somebody who, despite disagreements, always found ways to put
myself in people’s shoes. Zuky, it’s in God’s hands now. And I am happy, man,
because I started this life’s journey with half full cup and filled it , it was
difficult, but I filled it. I am fulfilled”. He said.
