He Came Home to Say Goodbye, But Never Returned 💔✈️
Arjunbhai Manubhai Patoliya, originally from Vadiya, Gujarat, had built a life in London with his beloved wife and their two children. But tragedy struck when the wife passed away suddenly.
Fulfilling her final wish, Arjunbhai returned to his hometown to perform her last rites, leaving behind his grieving children in London.
In the presence of mourning relatives, he completed the besnu and other sacred rituals, carrying the weight of loss with quiet strength.
On June 12, 2025, he boarded Air India flight AI171 to return to his children, but fate had one more cruel twist in store.
The flight crashed.
The father who had traveled across continents to honor his wife’s memory…
never made it back to the children they raised together.
💔 A story of love, loss, and an unspeakable tragedy that left two children waiting for a hug they’ll never receive again.
