Our Guiding Light

July 1, 2020, was the day our father, Mr. Latifur Rahman, the Founder of Transcom, left us.

It was a bright and sunny morning. We had drawn open the curtains of Abbu's room in our family home at Cheora, Cumilla, and the room was filled with light. I don't know why, but at the time Abbu was leaving us, another bright and sunny day came to mind. We were in the US and were on a road trip in my younger son Faraaz Ayaaz Hossain's car. Abbu and Faraaz sat in the front and I was at the back. Elvis Presley's songs were playing, Abbu's favourite.
