Dear cousin Rangan, I will miss you a lot. Although, for the past 40 years , we have been in different continents, I am happy I met you in London and in Colombo a few times. Each time you connected as if there was no time lost in between. Childhood and teenage years playing in Pathmanathan maama’s Dickman’s Road Post office bungalow, Nawalapitiya Bungalow and our family home on Bullers Road were so much fun and memorable. I still remember feeling sad when you left for Jaffna by train after the April holidays in Nawalapitiya. You remind us all of Pathmanathan mama, his generosity and his radiant smile. You took such good care of your amma and God bless your soul and may you rest in peace with Maama, Aunty, and Dhilip. You have reminded me how fragile life is! Love you forever, Priyadharshini Gunaratnam King, Thailand
