Bereavement

Years ago when I was in the Mills & Boon and other pulp romantic fiction phase of reading, I picked up these words which are a constant source of strength and assurance for me whenever I think of the loved ones I have lost along life's journey.........

People don't die
Don't really die
If loved ones
Left behind
Think of them
Once in a while........

These lines give meaning to the phrase "passed on"; in that it makes me believe they are away somewhere among the stars that shine bright in the heavens and galaxies above.

So Ammachi, Appan, Avaya, Daadima, Umesh Bojappa, Achamma, Naanima, Papa, Chachaji, Achachan, Ammu, Baba............for the days that I may not think of you (though they are few) this tribute is to ensure that you continue to be among brightest shining stars

Love you and miss you
