When was the happiest time in my life as a father or child?

My current age is 25 years and I am still a young man as I am not married yet. Because I could not become a father, but I had some moments in my childhood that brought joy to my life for a long time. When I was 12 years old I once begged my father for a bicycle which was very dear to me. As almost all my friends had bicycles, they used to cycle together in their free afternoons and I used to spend the afternoons sitting on the back seat of their bicycles.

But due to poor financial condition of my family my father failed to buy me bicycle which was sad for me. But my grandmother turned this sadness into happiness, who was a delivery nurse in a BRAC hospital. My grandmother's monthly income was very meager yet she collected money from her sister and brother and bought me a bicycle which I was very happy to get and this happiness lasted for a long time.

What have I done to ensure that my joy continues in my life and in the people around me?

As my childhood joy was in bicycle so every afternoon after my school break I used to cycle around my village which was quite fun for me. I used to take care of my bike so as not to damage the bike because I had to gain a lot of speed to get it. Moreover, my grandmother also bought me the bicycle with her hard earned money which I took care of and rode on the village streets every afternoon enjoying the village atmosphere.

Some of my friends also benefited from this bicycle of mine which was also a pleasure for them. Like every day I used to put 1 of my friends on the back seat of my bike and ride with us which made me happy as well as them. Moreover I used my bicycle to reach the destination for any need of my home which was also beneficial for my family.

What was a sad time in my life as a child?

I was a child in 2006 when I was 8 years old and I went through a long sad time in my childhood that I still remember. In 2006 my dear grandfather who loved me very much and I loved him as well as my grandmother. But suddenly he died of stoke which was a painful time for me. I always missed my partner who would hold me and tell me stories and buy me spicy food. Moreover, if my parents quarreled or beat me for any reason, he would protect me from them. So even though I was very young then but the pain of losing my beloved grandfather always remained with me which still makes me cry sometimes.

What did I do to avoid the time of sadness in my life?

The pain of losing a loved one forever can never be completely erased from the mind. Moreover, man is mortal which is an eternal truth because no one has the power to erase such a great truth. So, although I could not completely erase the pain of losing my grandfather, I partially distanced myself from the pain. I always consoled myself during such a bad time by thinking of the one eternal true death of the great Creator. Also, I sometimes pray for my late grandparents for a better life in the afterlife. So I console myself to get out of my bad time.

Death is an eternal truth that never changes. So trusting in Almighty Allah will free me from such misery to a large extent I hope. Source

Conclusion

Happiness or sadness is not permanent in a person's life, but we live in happiness and sadness. But some happiness or sadness is forever memorable in human life which is never forgotten. Still we should console ourselves in the transitory world and live trusting in the great Creator who makes jinn more enjoyable.
