Thank you for sharing such a beautiful reflection.
I had a very similar experience last month with the passing of my husband. It was sad, but at the same time I am grateful for the opportunity to be with him and hold his hand until the end.
Simran: that is a beautiful reflection on Nani. I feel like i got to know her through your column. How lucky you and your family are to have someone like Nani in your lives. Hope all goes peacefully in the coming days. Ari Goldman
Thank you for sharing, Simran. What lovely memories! Both of my parents have passed on and I was not able to be present with either of them during their passing moments. The same is true for my husband who has lost both of his parents. Additionally, all sets of grandparents have passed away, too. Truly we have seen death up close.
During this pandemic, we lost the pastor of our church congregation due to COVID-19. And my husband lost two siblings and a sister-in-law. It has certainly been a difficult time these past few years.
However, in my retirement, I have been able to draw on many precious memories. God has been good to me as I approach my 70th birthday in a few short months. I am so blessed and grateful for each day that I am given. And I do try to live each day to the fullest using the gifts and talents I have been divinely given.
I continue to “follow” you and am grateful for the short time I had with you at Trinity University. I purchased your picture book and have enjoyed sharing it with others. The messages carried there resonate in my spirit, also. I want you to be encouraged and know that you are loved. -Dr. “Dee” Jones
Thank you yet again. Today is incredibly bittersweet. My dad came back into my life exactly a year ago on my 40th. That was the best gift I ever received. Nonetheless, I thank god we reconnected as it would he his last year. December 13th to 31st were his last days on this earth. We sat by his bed, laughing crying and so much more. Today I honour that gift he gave me a year ago. Rest easy with your daughter, our sister Nini. Waheguru. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏💕
This is so profound. We must not take this life for granted and be grateful for every moment. Indeed love, generosity, devotion and selfless service is the way to live. Aunty has truly been an inspiration for all of us.🙏
