REFLECTION

MARIYAM MUSHTAQ
Daughter of Lieutenant General
MUSHTAQ AHMED BAIG (SHAHEED)


I share the feelings of my family at the shahadat of my dear Dad. To us he was a caring husband, a loving dad, an obedient son, a responsible brother, an adept eye surgeon and above all a pious Muslim. All these roles combined together to combined together to define one man - my dad, Lieutenant General Mushtaq Ahmad Baig, Halal-e-imtiaz (Military) Shaheed.A God fearing man of character, in harmony with his environment, who lived simply but died nobly.
Dad, I feel relaxed when I remember how you took us through thick and thin, day and night where are you now? I can’t see you through I sense your presence I can’t touch you through I feel you, I can’t hear you yet can listen to you. Whenever I am about to fall, an invisible hand holds me tight. Sweetest of the dad as we don’t remember the last time he scolded us.
I cannot remember the time when he was not with us when we were in distress. Now that my family members have reduced from six to five, my heart aches at his loss. Annoying feelings pinch me deep down every moment. But the knowledge that my dad lived with honor and respect and when he left this world again with dignity and pride. My dad belonged to the categories of those few who have honesty of intention, strength of character and clarity of vision
Dear dad we all love you, lived within us yet we can define you all around. For you who made our feelings, our achievement and our misgivings, our strength. That was what you were to me and to my brothers. We all miss you dad, we really do.
May I pledge to you who read this that we, the children of a shaheed will do our utmost to be what our dad wanted us to be and dad; we will always be proud of Pakistan Army. May Allah grant jannah to my father and his companions who embraced shahdat with him. (Ameen) General Mushtaq Baig (shaheed) Memorial Hospital Will be a tribute to a man whose heart went out to the destitute and needy rural communities? My family thanks and prays for all those who are devoting their time, energy and resources towards the establishment of this monument
