For those who don't know me my name is Rakesh, I want to say a few words in memory of my thatha. Thatha lived a remarkable life. Whenever I was sad my thatha always stood up for me no matter what. He always gave me Smarties when I came back from school and played jokes on me. My thatha also gave me lots of advice when I'm sad or about to run a race in track and field. He has also told most of the things he knew like in sports, news and studies. My thatha lived a life that was full of joy and happiness. I loved the time that I spent with him for my entire life. I miss his perspective and his gentle humour. I also miss the warmth he extended to everyone he met. I will miss my thatha dearly but I will treasure his memories forever. I love you thatha.
