There are never enough words to describe how much of a gem my mother-in-law was. I was so lucky and blessed to have her in my life as my guardian angel on Earth, and now from up above us. I still remember the day I first arrived at your doorstep. From the moment I saw you, I could tell you were looking at me as your future daughter with so much affection and excitement about our upcoming relationship. For the past ten years, you’ve always made sure to treat me with kindness, attentiveness, and protection. Every time you wanted to buy me a gift, whether it was jewelry, a saree, or souvenirs from your travels, you always remembered my favourite colour being green and wouldn’t settle until you found it. You’d also share how happy you were to have me as your daughter (more than a daughter-in-law) with your family and mine. I can’t accept that you were suddenly taken away from Kishan and I without any warning. We felt betrayed when we were informed last minute that we only had hours to process that your time with us and the ability to hold your hand and caress you was coming to an end. I feel so heartbroken because we always believed that your persistence and determination to always put us first and fight through any obstacle would somehow beat this dreadful illness. Words can’t describe how much we still need you and how lost we will be without your guidance. Athai, you had always been my guardian angel. I just wish there was an angel protecting you while you were here. Ever since your passing, I’ve been in denial, but sometimes I keep searching for signs that you’re still communicating with us. Athai, I’ll do my best to protect our family, but it will still feel so incomplete without you there to guide and console me like you have 24/7. Nothing will ever feel the same without my angelic mother. All I pray for now is that we can meet soon with you in a different form. I love you so much and will miss you with all my heart, Athai. See you soon Amma <3
