I quote from an anonymous comment on an earlier post of mine --that time, will help us, overcome the absence but the pain will live on forever.This was, from someone who had lost their son 10years ago, it must be true.
Another month passes and right now, both the absence and pain is still severe.
Yesterday, Nithya and me along with my sister, who is visiting, went over to Carlton Towers and said a silent prayer. It is still quite surreal,although the glasses have been replaced and signs of activity exist.It was almost the exact time of the accident, that we were there. 7 months ago and even now, we wonder what must have gone through the folks that day. We still debate how it could have happened,that it is unlikely Akhil would have taken a severe step.
It is a long road ahead and not all of what is ahead is clear!
The 7 months have also told us, that life for sure, is uncertain and each of us should try and live our life to the fullest.
Do everything you aways wanted to do,don't keep putting it aside saying you are young or have a long life ahead.If you do live long, you are lucky.
Sometimes,we wonder, that the support around us, is slowly moving away,but I pause and say, it only has to be that way, for us to get back to our feet.
We also have felt, more than ever, the blessing of a beautiful daughter, who is 'special' in all ways and her recent constant expression that, she is now here for us, makes our eyes swell and also makes life worth living for her.She is truly an amazing child!
So while we let time pass,right now,we hope that Akhil's absence and the pain reduces slowly!
