Actor Ayesha Omar wrote a heartfelt note for her late father who passed away when she was nearly two-year-old.
Ayesha Omar took to Instagram to remember her father. She wrote, “Many years ago, when I was a little less that two years old, my father left this world and moved on to the next, leaving behind 2 tiny children, @aziomar [Aziz Omar – brother] and I, one year apart, for my young Mom to raise, single handedly.”
“She never remarried and dedicated the rest of her entire life to raising us, despite all odds. She wanted us to get the best education and travel all over the world broadening our horizons but she was also very scared for me: Her curious, confident little daughter who wanted to chat with everyone around and explore the world a little too much.”
Ayesha Omar says three families financially dependent on her
“Who would stroll out the front gate and go visit the neighbours at the age of 3 and would start negotiating with shop keepers the minute her mama turned her back. Who wanted to sing, dance, paint, act and do everything her heart desired. Who had so much of her father in her. It terrified my mom because she wanted all that for me but there was no father to protect me, no male figure to stand by me if anyone tried to harm me.”
“I picked up on that fear and grew up with it. I was scared of the world and what it could do to me. So the little me started putting up an even more confident front. The little me wanted to be perfect at everything to make her mama happy and her Dad proud, up in heaven.”
“Little me also kept pushing on, watching her mama struggle and push through all that life threw at her. When I graduated from college I started supporting my family, but the fear stayed in my heart. I was surrounded by people all the time.”
“Some lifting me up, some tearing me down, but I still felt alone. Always having to put up a front, I went through the best times and the worst. Some of my worst fears came true. But Allah always protected me, and slowly, gradually I started feeling less fearful.”
“Less alone. I finally started enjoying my own company. I started reparenting myself to believe that I am never alone. That I am enough. I have me. And that Allah is there to protect me every step of the way.”
“Every August, today, I would wonder if my father would’ve been proud of me but today, I know he would’ve. Because I am proud of me. This is my favourite photo of him. Say a little prayer for him and me, please.”
