A few days have passed and it still hasn’t sunk in that you are no longer with us. We have lost a grandfather, and we certainly weren’t prepared for this. We miss your calm, collected presence; your cheeky, loving smile. We miss your visits with Appamma, kindly checking in with us, and always encouraging us when it came to our education. We are so fortunate to call you Appappa, and to be showered by your love and affection. We will surely cherish the moments we had with you for the rest of our life. We are heartbroken that you won’t be here with us and to see us reach our future milestones. However, deep down we know that you are in a better place - at the feet of Lord Muruga. We love you.
