Ruponty Haider, daughter of late Major Humayun Haider (Artillery Core) wrote a moving letter addressed to her father.
The letter reads:
"I miss my baba so badly becaues he died when I was five months old as a baby girl. I miss him a lot. I want to go to the park, want to play with my dad. I want to hold my dad’s hand and go around the world. Like other kids that are my age but I couldn’t find my dad in my world. I wish he was with me but he is now in my dream. What did I do to not get a hug from my dad.
