My very dear friends in IF,
I am overwhelmed by all your messages of support at this difficult time in my life. Every time I start reading your messages, my eyes fill up with tears and I find it difficult to go on reading, so I stop and get away from the computer. I tell myself I will be stronger next time, but it has been the same every time, however, now the tears are not flowing, only the pain is there in my heart, so i suppose I am getting stronger.
Thank you all so much for the love you have shown me. Your love, along with all my memories of my dear father, will have to keep me going from now on. These last five months have shown me how fragile life is, we think there is enough time to do things for our loved ones, so we put off some things but then it never happens. My father wanted to talk to one of his neighbors who came on the show Autograph, with Suhasini and Cho. I tried to call him with the number I had in my notebook, but I got the message that the number was no longer in service. Then I called up another neighbor, but she has moved to another house, and the number she gave me also did not work. My father wanted me to call another neighbor to get the number, but I didn't do that, and I told him I would send his friend an email. I didn't do that, either, and then Appa became very ill, so we had to take him to the hospital, and after that, he pretty much never opened his eyes and talked very little. In those two months, I kept wishing I had somehow found that number, and would you believe it, I was looking for some numbers to call after Appa passed away, and I found this friend's number under 'V; instead of 'S;. where it belongs. I have no idea how his card was moved to V, and I cried when I called that uncle and told him how much Appa wanted to talk to him, and couldn't do so. Please, friends, if your loved ones want to talk to someone or do something, please help them to do it, and don't put it off like I did.
Please forgive me for not thanking each one of you individually, this itself has been difficult for me today. I thank God for giving me such a wonderful set of friends, most of whom really don't even know me, yet they took the time to send me a note of sympathy. This shows their great hearts, and I am blessed to have such good people around me. Thank you all once again.
