It has been a quiet month and our pain is no less.
It won't be long before it is a year since the tragedy.We still believe, things have been unfair to us and so do, I am sure all others, who lost someone suddenly!
Besides the effort, that one, has put in, to channel our minds into something more positive like 'Beyond Carlton' there is also an effort to understand life and our end in greater detail.Issues to do with fate,karma and sometimes the need to explore more about why this happened to us,does get us to read and talk to others. Not sure, we have got any answers as yet!
Yesterday, I stumbled upon a captivating speech by Steve Jobs of Apple and he talks about how he came close to death, due to cancer.In his speech he makes a very profound statement " Death is likely the single best invention of Life." Worth considering?
(I have posted this speech on my Facebook page,in case, you feel like checking it out!)
Sometimes I get frustrated at the slow pace of justice and action and eventually resign myself to believing it is beyond me! I then kick myself to go back to moving the machinery,examining options and even try and get colleagues at Beyond Carlton to at least keep it alive! I must say, sometime it works and sometimes it doesn't!
Many things remind us of Akhil, like yesterday, while waiting at a doctor's, for an appointment, another young boy was pushing his Mom to speak softly on a call and ask the doc some specific questions for him.I turned my head to see them and it almost felt Akhil was around with his Mom.
Guess, these things will be around for a long time and I hope things will slowly settle for us!
You and every other person who has lost someone who means more than words can describe, so suddenly, must be commended for your efforts to do what you are doing.
ReplyDeleteIt would be ideal and perhaps even unreal to say that with each passing day, a little bit of hurt and pain is chipped away. However, it is real to say that you are looked upon and that you are Akhil's father and that Akhil is your son.
Greatness, in its own small way, always prevails. Even on a mundane day. :)
Best wishes to you and aunty
I'm sure the healing will come from him, just as the memories do. :-)
