The Saddest Day of My Life

The 22nd of September, 1992 was the saddest day of my life. Many events happened on that day that made me feel sad. I can never forget that day. It looked as if I had been totally ruined that day. Early in the morning, I got the news that I had failed my NDA examination. My failure was a shock to my father. He breathed his last. His death was a great blow to me personally. While returning from the cremation ground my mother fell down on the road. She was rushed to the hospital. The doctors tried their best but they could not save her. I had become an orphan. Nobody could console me. I felt as if the earth was slipping from under my feet. I felt great pain inside me but I decided to bear everything bravely. The memory of that day still haunts me.
