//The Blue Door//

This holiday season is a mix of 'blue'. There are many reminders of happy memories and the feeling of the deep void and sadness left behind by my Father Sardar Anup Singh Jubbal - founder and CEO of Canadian Eyesight Global. My Father passed unexpectedly late this summer and all I could do was helplessly watch it unfold in front of my eyes within hours . A really harsh reality check that as much as we think we are in control of life; we are not. With COVID protocol in place in the hospital there were even more restrictions and feelings of immense helplessness.

So instead of enjoying what was supposed to be a fun summer vacation with my parents we prepared for my Father's funeral which took place September 3, 2021.

I read his eulogy at his funeral surrounded with the love and support of our family and dear friends who came from near and far.
Some family I hadn't seen in years. Sometimes I listen to the eulogy (it was recorded). For some strange reason it kind of gives me some comfort. I guess it reminds me of his greatness (I know everyone's parents are great) but even strangers would praise him, (people he never met for restoring their eyesight, mothers who saw their children for the first time, and thousands of others). And it reminds me of how he was so lucky to have found his purpose in life. And even through all the adversity and challenges he never let anything deter him from his path. He was focussed, disciplined and intensely dedicated.

One of the most remarkable things about his life is he created his legacy through Canadian Eyesight Global (CanadianEyesight.org) . He devoted 32 years of his life wholeheartedly. He helped restore eyesight and blindness to over 100,000 people. He won numerous medals and awards including the Meritorious Medal Award. An award that recognizes individuals for bringing honor to their country. And although he is no longer earth side, his legacy will live on.

This holiday is definitely a hodge podge of emotions. As I remember the happy times we shared and yet mourn his absence and the huge void he has left in our hearts. Although as difficult as it is, I have to remind myself to have the grace to experience this in in my own way; allowing both moments of happiness and sadness to come and go; so that I can come out of this with hope, peace and courage to move forward. He believed in me, more than I believed in myself. He gave me confidence I never knew I had.
I am honored to continue my role as Executive Director of Canadian Eyesight Global and the talented team of board of directors he trusted and respected. We have big shoes to fill.
