Ours was a group in class, who never showed interest in studies and the day our teacher’s daughter died, imagining a day-off from Mathematics we took a sigh of relief but when we were busy in chatting and enjoying ourselves, the classroom door opened and the weary face of our teacher appeared.
On that day he was coming straight from graveyard and when one of his colleagues asked him to take a leave; he broke into tears and said,
“Perhaps this act of mine would make God happy and He’ll make home for my daughter in Paradise.”

A very heartfelt story. That had to be a very hard thing for him to do. I’m sure his students are giving him the support he needs at such a difficult time. The are blessed to have a teacher like him.

That was a very touching story. That must be a really dedicated teacher and for the moment the pain is taking the form of work. Needless to mention, an indirect lesson to students too!
Very nice story.. 🙂
