Babu Mama

This is to celebrate your life dear mama. I appreciate your presence in my life, in my mother's life. 

You brought much love and joy and fun to my mothers's life. For this I am deeply grateful. 

You brought safety and security into my mother's youth. For this I am grateful. 

You gave my mother a beautiful loving connection. For this I am grateful. 

You brought out the sister instinct so strongly in her that she loved you unconditionally, passionately teaching me what sibling love is all about. I lived my dream of having a sibling through your lives. 

Mama, you were so kind hearted towards the physically challenged and felt deeply for their well being. You gave so willingly and generously to celebrate their lives. 

You enjoyed reading and taught me to focus on whatever I was reading. 

Your love for the mythologies gave me endless hours of pleasure reading Amar Chitra Katha. Much moral education happened through these wonderfully illustrated comic books. 

Much more you gave me that words cannot describe. 

Most of all I cherish how strongly you stood to be yourself no matter what or who or where or when or how! 

I deeply appreciate your presence and influence in my life and my mother's life. 

My inner voice tells me that you and Amma are having fun and sharing a few laughs up there. 

So here is my Unconditional Love bidding you Goodbye, only till we meet again!
