Loss of Childhood
Every 6 seconds someone is killed or seriously injured on the world’s roads (Source: Make Roads Safe)
I remember 27th April 1984, the day which have changed my life. I was then merely
13 yrs at age. My father who was around 45 age died in an road accident
on Indian road near a village of Bhandara near Nagpur city in
Maharashtra. I was having a responsibility of my own as well as two
sisters who was 14 & 8 respectively and mother. 26 years has been
passed since then, but there is hardly any single day which I forget to
recall the memories of the past. Due to a single incident of the life, I
have not only lost father, but my childhood. I sometime narrate my
story as, a fathers death is a son funeral. Since that day God has put
me constantly on tests after test, today at 40, I am still struggling
to cope with the loss done. This would have not happened if little care
was taken by someone who caused that accident to happen.

According to WHO, 9 in 10 road deaths and injuries occur in developing countries. Research in India and Bangladesh has shown that at least half of
families affected by a road death or serious injury fall below the
poverty lineas those who lose their lives are breadwinners. If you or somebody you know have lost loved one in an accident please share with us.
