In loving Memory of my husband, Khalid Murtaza Chowdry
I had never met a person like Khalid, until I got married to him. For our honeymoon he took me to trekking in Northern Pakistan. It was quite scary for my family to say the least, as they didn’t hear from us for the duration of the trip. However, my family soon realized that Khalid was a very different husband in a very traditional sense of the word.
Khalid believed in living life to the fullest and creating the means to enjoy life every moment. Money or no money he believed that attitude was more important. He showed me the meaning of life which I had never experienced even living in Toronto, Canada. We experienced life together in places where only few can experience in their life time. From living in Gilgit to eating friend fish in Jamshoro to Universal studios in USA to Vancouver, BC. We experienced it all. My family adored him and he provided guidance to all of my family with his quick wit and solutions. He had a solution for everything and didn’t hesitate to share it.
Those who knew Khalid describe him as one in a million; it’s very hard to find such a well rounded person who excelled in every area of his life. Today I wish that Khalid was around to see Seenaan our son grow up to be man just like him. How I feel is hard to describe but it can be summarized by this poem which I came across the other day…
I don’t know how to feel
it’s all locked up inside,
the emptyness is waking
the tears are running dry.
Your the one who held me
gave comfort when things went wrong,
what do i do without you
I feel my faith is gone.
My heart just doesnt realise
that you are really gone.
A loss that came so suddenly
but will last my whole life long.
Our time just meant so much too me
I know it allways will
the memories locked inside of me
forever to hold on too
You told me that we’d be,
together forever more
partof eachothers lives
but now the door is closed.
Never too be opened
kept locked on both sides now
Although you may have gone away
your spirit will forever stay
Sue.
For my husband Khalid “Banjara” Chowdry I loved your integrity, for the honorable path you always took against all odds. I loved your strength for you were the wind below my wings. I loved your free spirit for the adventures and excitement you brought to my life. And more importantly, I loved your love, for it makes me strive to become the best woman, and a mother to our lovely son Seenaan.
With love always,
your wife
Sabrina.
