My Dear Mother Has Become A Star.

My heart is heavy with grief as I write this. My beloved darling mother, Amma, as we used to call her, is no more. She quietly passed away on the 18th of November, 2013 leaving behind a huge void, but innumerable pleasant memories that will continue to inspire and motivate us to be good human beings and achievers.
She will always remain in our hearts. A Guardian Angel, a bright star that will guide us and protect us, show the right path and light up our lives with brilliance!
Yes, it is hard to believe that she is no longer physically around. But her fragrance is over-powering and lingering. It will be hard to cope with her loss, but time is the biggest healer, isn't it?
I have planted a red hibiscus' sapling in a pot on my terrace today, in her memory; as she loved the red color. I will shelter it, nourish it, love it and nurture it as she had nurtured all three of us, her 'three gems" throughout her life.
My dear father Anna, is beside himself with grief. They would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, next year on the 8th of June, 2014. His best friend, companion and soul-mate has left him half-way through life's journey. She is irreplaceable but we are there for you Anna,.....
As my eyes are welling up with tears, I sign off.....
