Ammama, You’ll be missed by all of us in ways I can’t even put into words. Your presence was the heart of our family, and everything about you—your warmth, your wisdom, your unconditional love—made life so much brighter. You always cooked my favorite food, always knew what I needed even before I asked. Even when Amma said “No,” you were there with your loving “Yes!” You had a way of making me feel understood and loved like no one else. Aadhya will miss growing up with you, hearing your stories, and feeling your love. It breaks my heart that she won’t experience the magic of having you by her side, but your legacy will live on through all of us. Because of you, we’ll always be proud to call ourselves the Kandhiya Sudaram Family. You taught us to be strong, to stay united, and to always put family first. I regret not speaking to you more often, and that will haunt me forever. If I could turn back time, I’d hold you close and cherish every moment. You were so selfless and kind, and I’d give anything to have you back, even for just one more day. You will always live on in our hearts, Ammama. We love you endlessly. With all my love, Nathisha Thiyanesh
Losing someone we love is nothing easy, but knowing that we have been able to be a part of the life of that person, we can realize that we are blessed to have been able to share in that life before...
