While you have explained your rationale of departing us so abruptly, let me tell you that you will be sorely missed… For the immense love that you have blessed us with… For showing us that yes the saying “WILL will find a Way” is absolutely true. For personifying courage and determination to live Life and not Leave life amidst any of the oddest circumstances For having the wonderful ability to be There for each and every one of us.. You are and will be the Nani /Dadi to not only ur grandchildren, but their spouses, their friends, their own neighbors, their household support staff, and almost the entire universe.. I am sorry that I could not be there in person to pay my last respects to you nor will be in the prayer meeting later today to be held in your respect, but if you were there you would have only told me ke Premal tame Dia ni sambhal rakhjo .. And give me the backing of a practical advise and wisdom… Love you and may the almighty eternal grace and your soul rest in peace and continue to bless us with its divine love and affection. Premal
