“Papa, Please Come Back!” Son Writes Heart wrenching Essay After
Father’s Death
Little Mangesh Valke wrote an emotional plea to his father, who
passed away after suffering from an ailment. The boy who studies in the fourth
grade, wrote an essay in a letter to his father which has led to tears welling
up in anybody’s eyes who reads it. In the letter, Mangesh has honestly described
the economic condition of his family that has been left in shambles, and that
there remains no man in the house now to handle responsibilities. Ending the
letter in an tearful “Papa, please come back!”, Mangesh’s letter has touched
hearts and has become a topic of discussion on the social media.
Beed: A rather noteworthy incident that will grab all attention
has happened in the city. A 10-year-old boy called Mangesh Valke wrote an essay
at school, which has had the entire town as well as social media talking. The
essay is a letter, in which Mangesh expresses his emotions thorough cries of
pleas for his father to come back. His father passed away some time ago, which
has led the young boy to write about how the family has no man left to head any
responsibility. The letter has left every reader teary-eyed.
After the news channel ETV Bharat has highlighted this woe of the
little boy, the letter has come to the notice of the Minister of Social
Justice & Special Assistance Department Dhananjay Munde. He has taken the
plight of the boy and his family and has promised to help him out. The options
of how the boy and his family will be helped are still being thought upon.
The father
of the boy suffered through extreme poverty as well as an ailment that was the
cause of his death. In the heartfelt letter, Mangesh expressed how he misses
his father, and that ‘he is afraid of thugs entering the house’, as his father
is now absent. This sentence, where he says ‘he is afraid’, depicts how lonely
he feels without his father. In the letter, he wrote, “my father died due to
tuberculosis a few days ago. As he is not around, I had to save a cow drowning
in the water all by myself. There is nobody left to help us. Mother and I are
afraid of thugs and robbers entering the house. Papa, I think of you all the
time,” he says, concluding his essay with heart wrenching words saying, “Papa,
please come back.”
Mangesh
studies in a local school in Aashti Taluka’s Valkevadi. In the essay he wrote,
as a letter addressing his late father, the emotions that run through a child’s
soft heart were seen pouring out on paper. In the essay he wrote called ‘My
father’, the emotions that he has gone through have clearly come out in front
of the readers. When Mangesh’s teacher Najma Mainuddin Shaikh read the letter,
she too could not stop herself from being emotional. She felt the need for this
letter to be read by the rest of the world, and therefore took to social media,
and forwarded this letter to her contacts and several groups on WhatsApp that
she was a part of. This led to the letter becoming viral on social media.
When
ETV Bharat investigated this, they found the condition of the boy and his
family to be in a rather poor position. Mangesh’s mother is differently abled, which
has led to the 10 year old boy taking charge of the family and helping his
mother out in every way he can before he heads to school. While the boy has to
deal with the grief of losing his father, he has another grave situation in
front of him in the form of an economic challenge for the family. With his mother
being physically challenged, Mangesh has had to grow up way before his time,
trying to find a way to support his family at a time when his peers enjoy their
childhood playing games and interacting with friends.
His
mother Sharda does minor jobs that can help keep the family afloat until
Mangesh has finished his education. Mangesh wants to grow up and realise his father’s
dream of becoming an officer someday.
Mangesh
and his family need help
Mangesh
lives in the Aashti Taluka along with his mother. He requires all the financial
help he can gather to make ends meet at home. His mother is illiterate so may
have to resort to minor jobs of labour if the family does not get help
financially.
Help
from Dhananjay Munde
Minister
of Social Justice & Special Assistance Department Dhananjay Munde has taken
cognizance of the situation in Mangesh’s family, and has offered Rs. 1.5 Lakhs
from the ‘Divyang Beej Bhandval Yojana’, a scheme that will help the
differently abled, as well as their families to stay afloat and make ends meet
by creating a small business for themselves. He has also arranged for a bus pass,
UD ID card and passed on benefits of government’s schemes for the physically
challenged. While Mangesh’s story may be full of sadness, this seems like a ray
of hope in the 10 year old’s and his family’s life.
