A Memorable Wheel Chair
>> May 7, 2012
This dark blue folding-wheelchair belonged to my late father. He was still able to
walk by himself, but the doctor
forbade him to
walk far because of his heart condition. He used
it only during his pilgrimage with my brother and the last flight home with us
(my husband and I). After he came back home, he refused to use it again.
Until now, I keep the wheel chair in his bed room. My brother asked me to donate it; I didn’t know why exactly, but I haven’t done it yet. I still often imagined my father was sitting on the chair while I push it. But if I find someone who really needs the wheel chair, perhaps I’ll let the chair go.

Hi Lina, I am so sorry about your loss (did not know). Your intention of donating it is very kind.
Blue Eggs, have a great week ahead!
i can understand how you feel. my father died almost 8 years ago, but i still keep the notebook he left. looking at his handwriting makes me feel he's still with us..
I can understand how the chair represents your father and is therefore precious to you. Thanks for sharing.
Happy Blue Monday, Lina.
I'm sorry the death of a loved one. But I think in this case the chair can be very useful to a person who can not afford to buy it.
A sad story, yet tender...
Saya setuju mba, suatu saat kalau ada orang yang sangat membutuhkannya, mba lebih baik menyumbangkannya dengan ikhlas, insya'allah hal ini akan memuluskan perjalanan ayah mba ke tempat yang paling indah disisinya, oh iya alhamdulillah Ads saya uda mau nongol di blog jelek saya mba
that would be hard to give away. but he will always be in your heart. :)
Thanks dah sharing teh Lina. Jadi ingat almarhum ayah yang beberapa bulan lagi akan pergi haji namun Allah memanggil beliau sehingga ibu pergi haji sendiri. Begitu juga dengan kursi roda, jadi ingat istri (Ummiega) ketika pulang kerja mengalami kecelakaan yang mengakibatkan pinggul patah dan beberapa bulan menggunakan kursi roda.
Makes me sad!
Come and see my Rosary beads, your comment would mean a lot~!
I am so sorry about your loss your intention of donating it is very kind.thanks for sharing this post with us.
Hemmmm.....
That is a great idea, Lina, donate it to someone who really needs it.
Sadly we humans only have each other on loan. Still some people feel - and I do as well - that our dead does not really disappear. In fact they feel closer again as years pass by. And yes, sometimes our memories are attached to items. Best wishes to you!
