Shanthini (your daughter) 23 MAY 2021 Canada

To my loving father Dadda, I cannot even put into words how much I miss you. I spent my entire life living near you and Amma, that it is so difficult for me to imagine living a life without you. A father is such a special relationship, and a beautiful title to hold. I feel so blessed to be your daughter, and I will never forget all the childhood memories that I had with you. I feel so lucky that even after I was married I got to live near both you and Amma. I had the privilege of going shopping with you, sharing laughs and stories with you, and getting to see you almost every week, Dadda. But the biggest blessing of all was getting to see you hold and teach your granddaughters how to live a faithful life like you. I am so glad that my children got to meet you, live near you, and know what a wonderful person you are. The most beautiful part about you was your simplicity, you had a calm and peaceful presence, but you always touched everyone's hearts with your big and beautiful smile. Your smile was enough to fix any difficult situation, and it will truly be missed. I know it is going to be so hard because you left the biggest impact on our lives. I can never put into words how much I miss you and wish that I could say thank you for all the things you have done for me and for my family, and how much I love you and wish you were here. But I know you are with Jesus and are in a peaceful place now. Although I cannot see you physically, I know your spirit and unconditional love will live on forever. Thank you for raising me, nurturing me, loving me, and helping me become the person I am today. I hope to follow in your footsteps and your faith. I will always see your reflection and smile in our family. I wish you had waited just a little longer when I told you I would come back for you. You left us too soon. Until we see each other in heaven again, I love you and miss you so so much my loving Dad, Dadda.
