To Thatha, Thatha was the best grandfather I could ever ask for. He always went out of his way to please others and make everyone happy. He would always call me and ask me how I am what I’m doing, how school was and if I ate. We would talk about our days together and he would give me the best life advice. When I spoke to him last week he said that he ate and watched the cricket match. Watching the game was one of his favourite things to do. Now that your not with me thatha who is going to ask me all those things. When he came over to my house he would always be awake at the crack of dawn. I would come downstairs and always see him reading the newspaper or using the computer while sipping on a cup of tea. We would go on walks and he would always be like “Melanie come let’s watch a movie” and we would watch all the latest movies together. Thatha is such a good role model. He was very hard working. Amma would always tell me stories of their lives back home and how he was. Thatha not being with me is something I still can’t believe. Everything happened so suddenly I am still in shock and disbelief. It all feels like a nightmare. There’s still hope inside of me thinking he’s still alive and waiting for all of us to come see him. He would be so happy. I love you thatha and will forever love you. You are a good soul, gone way too soon. Rest in peace thatha. I’m sorry thatha, love you Melanie.
