Dearest Papa,
You would have been celebrating your seventy seventh (77th) birthday, but then chose to end your earthly sojourn and leave for your heavenly abode a little over four months ago, September 6, 2012 to be precise..........
That fateful morn will forever be enshrined in my memory banks till my very last day on planet earth, and that mournful telephone call that informed both Rachna and me of your passing will resound in our ears for eternity........
What more can one say about the person who meant more to the two of us than life itself, I do know that a lost of our family members and relatives continue to snigger behind may back and keep casting innuendos alluding to the fact that I wasn't there by your side during your last years on this planet, but you are well acquainted with the fact that this came about due to extenuating circumstances rather than our not wanting to be on your side..........
But, all that is water under the bridge and Rachna and me are trying to honour your memory and all that you meant to us by carrying out a small ceremony in your honour in a Gurudwara and making contributions to both CRY as well as the Concern India foundation as a mark of our love and profound respect for you........
You took immense pride in sharing whatever little you had selflessly and reached out to as many people as you could enveloping them in your warm embrace and we remain committed to doing the same no matter what the rest of the world has to say about us..........
Love you Papa, miss you in every moment and steadfastly trying to become a pale shadow of the exemplary human being that you were and will continue to be for eternity.........
Have a great day wherever you are, Love Always, do keep blessing and guiding us every step of the way............
