I faced the first disappointment of my life when I was 6 years old but I felt like a 100-year-old at
that time. Life had been tough for me. My life was an ocean with endless problems. I had to face
many disappointments in it.
"Didn't they know that money is never enough" I kept muttering to myself. My first
disappointment in my life was when my parents had to travel overseas most of the time, They
had no time for me, just work! I felt as if I did not matter to them. What mattered was they
earned enough money. They traveled because of work, at the time when I needed their love, care,
and attention. I kept living with my Grandpa and he loved me a lot. Mom and Dad came twice a
year to met us. But I told Grandpa about what I felt he told my parents and understood that a
child needed the most attention of his parents and they shifted their jobs in our city and started
living with us.
Another disappointment was when I was fourteen years old. It was quite a tough year for me. I
had my parents with me but this time I came to know that my grandpa has heart disease, Doctors
always kept making hope and said he would recover soon, and we saw it but one day we
arranged a dinner for relatives at our house. Grandpa was alright at that time but suddenly His
condition began to deteriorate. Dad took him to the hospital for a checkup. He didn't listen to us
and refused to use a wheelchair, Doctor checked him and said that his condition was serious and
they need to put him on the ventilator. Tears welled in my eyes. My lips began to quiver and I
cried my heart out. Because if once a person is on a ventilator there are fewer chances he would
survive. When they were going to put him on the ventilator doctor checked his heartbeat and it
stopped. He told the workers to not put him on the ventilator, and told us that he died. after
listening to the words "He is no more, Sorry Sir" my world started to tremble, my heart was
pounding a million beats per second and my eyes were dehydrated from the excessive tears that
were leaking out. I had the most bonding with my grandpa at the early age of my life I lived with
him and got the most love, care, and attention from him. That was the most disappointing time of
my life.
