Today my tears slowed down for a moment. And I began to think… I must make time for people who matter to me. You mattered Mama! And I’m sorry I didn’t make the time to talk to you more. Mama, Amma always made sure we never forgot you. You always had a special place in her heart. About you she will tell us stories. For the tough man you were. The kind heart you had. The love for nature you showed. Today, we shed tears too late. Too late that we cannot see your smile. Too late to stand beside you and hold your hand. You were a hidden strength in our life. We appreciate you for the presence you were Mama. We have lost a wonderful uncle and a beloved brother. May you rest and your soul be at ease.
