Note: I'm not looking for any sympathy from the post below. It's just one way of dealing with the pain of losing my dad. If anyone out there feels I'm wallowing in sadness, then it's your perception of it all, not mine. For me crying is also very human, just as much as laughing is, and I'm not afraid to cry. And I'm not going to put on a brave face when I'm not feeling so brave. None of you knew my dad so please don't compare my feelings with someone else's misfortune. I know everything happens to people but personal grief can never be compared, and the pain of losing someone is not something you get over with time. If I wanted to, I could not have written that post today...instead I could have just posted a Happy post for the heck of it. Well I don't write posts for the heck of it, so I can't do that. I only write about my exact thoughts and none of my thoughts get edited when it comes out in blog post form - they come exactly the way they were born in my mind. I'm not here to please or impress anyone, and I don't write for popular readership either. On a day like today, I only want to think about my dad and I hope you'd respect that...and if I can't be myself here in my own blog, then there's no point in being here at all.
................. ...................... ...................... ...................
It was the 11th of Feb, a Saturday morning...it was today, few years ago. That day, my darling dad did not wake up from his sleep...a peaceful death yet a heart-breaking memory, a day I can never forget. He was so young, so strong, so loving, so good. Never did I imagine he'd die that way. He was larger than life. He was the kindest man I've ever known. He'd help thousands of people with no expectations at all. He'd do anything, just about anything, to see a smile on someone's face. He wasn't selfish, he never took sides, he stood by his friends, he knew how to live life. He gave it 100%, a candle that burnt too fast...cos he was too busy lighting up others' lives. He went too soon but left a love and memories that are greater than the ocean. He'd hug me and my sis, and ask if everything was ok...I'd try out my cooking skills at just 7yrs old and he'd taste my food even if it was not edible and tell me it was so very yummy...I'd climb on his shoulders and do all sorts of things to his head and hair and he'd smile beautifully...he bought us pretty dresses on our bdays...he was a father who showed affection...a lion with a soft heart...a tall, handsome, tough-looking guy with a heart so giving and filled with compassion. When no one seems to understand me, dad I feel you're watching over me and saying 'it's ok I know what you're going through'...thanks for appearing in my dreams and letting me know you're still around. Thanks for giving me so many friends here in Blogville so that I can carry on! Couldnt say this too often when you were around so here I'm saying it now...I love you dad and I miss you so very much! I still keep looking for you, searching for you everywhere I go...I wait at the bus-stop, hoping you'd hop off a bus and say HI...I look 
around when I'm at the mall, hoping to see your face again amidst the crowd...I camp all night, thinking you'd come around and hug me like you used to...then I go back home...alone again...
around when I'm at the mall, hoping to see your face again amidst the crowd...I camp all night, thinking you'd come around and hug me like you used to...then I go back home...alone again...Yesterday we went to the Buddhist temple to offer prayers for my dad and make some donations and give alms to the temple and the monks. It was a peaceful day...I walked around the serene Bo tree and thought of my dad...I stood in front of a graceful, calm statue of the Buddha, and wondered what life is all about. Life is about today. Cos as Buddha stated, nothing is permanent. Tomorrow we may not have what we have today. And contentment lies in the mind. Not in the assets or relationships we have. True contentment comes from a protected mind. The mind has the power and the ability to make or break a person. If your mind is in one place, nothing external should affect you. People and bonds aren't forever either. Like a Mirage in the desert, like colors in the night...today's slides of life, may change their form and colors forever tomorrow.
Last night, I switched off all the lights and sat in the dark, listening to a song...a song that took me back in time to the day he went away...to the day that my heart broke into pieces, never to be the same again...~~In Loving Memory Of My Darling Dad
Hey, does it ever make you wonder
what's on my mind
I, I was only ever running to your side
I never cried, I just watched my life go by
It's just a pack of lies,
'cause you're leaving me behind
Why, after this long is there nothing
I'll keep, oh, I can shout
you'll pretend you're falling asleep
I live a lie, yeah, believing that you're mine
It's just a waste of time
'cause you're leaving me behind
Hey, there's not a cloud in the sky
It's as blue as your goodbye
and I thought it would rain
on a day like todayHey, there's not a cloud in sight
it's as blue as your blue goodbye
and I thought it would rain
the day you went away... ... ...

I know your dad always be in your heart, and he's proud of his darling daughter Keshi!
HUGGGGGGGZ!

I know how hard it is to deal with this Keshi. My dad died on New Year's Day 1997. I still remember everything about that day and the next week through the funeral and on. It's not something you just get over. You just learn to deal with it.
hi keshi...just back frm holiday! how r u??? touching post.! ur dad would b watching this n b proud of u! tcare gal!
Thats so touchy post Sweetie. God bless and take care. He would always be with you.
((((((((Hug))))))))
Teary post Keshi. Nice.

TRUE
stop mooning for your dad
idiot
your dad is in heaven
and he is having a great time
with Marlyn Monroe and Sophia Loren and the other Ooomph girls of the 60s
Dont spoil it for him
u be happy too
find a man to make u happy
oh Keshi I am so touched! Your dad is watching over you and is v v proud of you.
Hi Keshi
Very touching.
Very true.
I read what Jim wrote. I agree with him. We live and breathe with no certainties. Life has no guaranties. The only certainty we have is that this life shall end.
Your father would not want you to be overly sad. He sounds like he was a very positive person. Although, there’s nothing wrong in remembering him and praying for him. When it comes to death, time does not heal.
I read a very shocking story. A bride died at her wedding while having her first dance with her new husband. Death never comes at an appropriate time because there is no appropriate time to die.
HUGS!!
Bev
we all have lost our loved ones
but we dont cry
we have moved on
I lost my dad
when I was in college
as he was dying
he wrote me a letter from hospital
it has his blood stains
he told me I am OK
just a lil bleeding from the nose
dont come home
i dont want u to miss your lectures
lil did he know i was making masti in college
I guessed he was dying
but like an ostrich
my head was buried in the sand
and i continued making masti
until a few days later
after the burial my bro informed me that dad had died
I came home then
but it was of no use
i went back without waiting for the 7 day church service
i remembered my dads concern
and I studied hard and graduated
now i still have that blood stained letter
but it dont make me cry no more
I hope to be a man like my dad was
and die like he did
a hero
i remember the values my dad tot me
and the happy times we shared
Hugs Keshi...it reminded me of my Dad too when he just 'slipped' away. Like you, I think about him all the time....they are watching over us Keshi and we are all blessed with good health and good friends too :D
HUGS & KISSES Always!!
Now if u post another post of your dad
I will scream so loud
your dad will hear u
and give u a good spanking
think of the happy
not sad
sing, sing a song ....
It's rough. A day doesn't go by that I don't miss my parents and they died quite a while back. You know that everyone dies, but in the back of the mind I always figured my folks would be there. Definetly left some scars that won't heal.

Keshi. What a concidence for me. I was whipping out a post on losing someone you love but decided not to post it.
And i came in here reading about the same subject. Thanks for sharing ya heart in this.
Thanks Keshi.
tnxx Amy MWAH!
Keshi.
Oh sweetie.. That was so hurting and I just hope you are feeling alright. I would be wrong to say what a nice dad you had considering I never knew him before. It would be like using words for something that I will never be qualified. So I refrain from that and I hope you move on and don't cry out. For when you let the emotions off, you slowly tend to forget the past.
I wish you a good afternoon and you did your father proud ! Just let me know if you want to talk about it, I am here and that part I mean it.
tnxx Vik!
If not for u guys, who do I share my sorrow(/joy) with. No one else really is emotionally this close to me. HUGGGGGGGGZ n ty for being here!
Keshi.
Hi Keshi
This is another story about a bride who died. The one I told you about seems to have been replaced by the Grammys.
'Bride dies after hospice wedding
The couple were forced to bring the wedding forward (Pic: MEN)
A bride died from cancer just 90 minutes after getting married.
Former nurse Elaine Stephenson, 48, wed her partner of 11 years Chris Johnson, 50, of Walshaw, Bury, Gtr Manchester, at Bury Hospice on Saturday.
She had beaten ovarian cancer twice in 2002 and 2004, but the disease returned last year.
The couple were due to get married in August but the wedding was brought forward after doctors warned them her condition had suddenly deteriorated.'
Bev
aww! Keshi! I dnt know what to say dear..
Whatever I jot down, your pain wll never become less.. but yes I know yu r a brave girl, you will go on and make your dad and mom more and more proud of you!
I wish for an ounce of compassion that you have towards life..!
I wish.. yu have a wonderful life Keshi, I dnt know If be able to say this again..

Keshi.
I was whipping out a post on losing someone you love but decided not to post it.
thanks sweet sticky and chewy
if u want a good cry
all u have to do is read the newspapers in India
recently there were 2 bomb blasts in Pakistan, one got Benazir
starving debt ridden farmers committing suicide in India
kidnappings and hostages murdered
the kidney scam, the poor selling their kidney for 1000 INR
the poor woman going to the hospital for delivery
and returning home with one kidney less
the poor man having the rong leg amputed by the doc who goofed
sometimes I dont no whether to laff or cry
Veenz that means alot to me. tnxx hun n HUGGGGGGGGGGZ!
but I cry alot..if u didnt know :)...not like a cry-baby...the invisible tears I mean.
TC sweetie!
Keshi.
Found it.
DAVIE, Fla. — Kim Sjostrom wanted a real-life version of the film "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," which played in the background as friends fixed her hair and makeup before her own marriage ceremony.
But less than an hour after she and Teddy Efkarpides were wed, Sjostrom crumpled in her husband's arms during a Greek song that means "Love Me."
At 36, Sjostrom was dead from heart disease.
The wedding had became a project at Davie Elementary School, where Sjostrom taught first grade. Fellow teachers provided the wedding gown, the flowers and decorations. One of them, an ordained minister, performed the ceremony.
"It was perfect for her," said Dominic Church, the minister friend.
Sjostrom carried blue and white flowers during the ceremony _ the colors of the Greek flag _ as she exchanged vows with Efkarpides, a 43-year-old carpenter and Navy veteran. They had met three years to the day before the Jan. 19 wedding.
During the couple's first dance, Sjostrom complained of being lightheaded. Efkarpides thought his wife, a diabetic, needed sugar, but she collapsed.
Wedding guests, paramedics and doctors at a nearby hospital were unable to revive her.
She had a previous cardiac episode in her 20s and was a poster child _ literally _ for juvenile diabetes, relatives and friends said. Efkarpides recalled seeing the poster featuring her on New York subways.
He consoles himself by reading a list of "101 Reasons Why I Love You" that Sjostrom gave him their first Christmas together. "Number 1. You make me smile."
No. 98 is especially difficult: "You're the one I want to grow old with."
Jim..
**thanks sweet sticky and chewy
if u want a good cry
all u have to do is read the newspapers in India
I agree..there r ppl who r worse off than me. but plz dun ask me to compare MY DAD'S death with the misfortunes of others. This is my dad Im talking abt. And he means alot to me. And just cos there r farmers committing suicide in India that doesnt mean I should not feel any pain abt my dad's death!
Stop belittling my feelings Jim. This is my blog and I write whatever I want to write abt. If u dun wanna comment, u do hv a choice there!
If Amy didnt wanna post abt losing someone, then that's her choice. Not my choice Jim!
Keshi.
aww Bev that article broke my heart!
**No. 98 is especially difficult: "You're the one I want to grow old with."
was too diificult to read!!!!
HUGS!
Keshi.
dad is alive inside you now. what can one say. you honor and respect him, love him, he loves you back, always there.
tnxx Will that means alot to me! HUGGGGGGGGGZ!
Keshi.
Jim dun u ever make me feel like Im just whinging...u hv no idea what we went thru after my dad died..and u hv no idea what he was like. So stop making this look like Im just posting for the sake of sympathy. DO U KNOW MY DAD? NO. So just dun pretend like he's someone I should not feel anything abt. I knew him...u didnt.
And Im not looking for a GOOD CRY. How dare u say that?? Just cos u didnt pay attention to ur dad when he was alive, it doesnt mean Im the same.
Im not in a mood to argue with u today...cos TODAY is the day my dad died...if it didnt go thru ur head yet.
Keshi.
This post is very touching. You've been through tough time girl, but you're strong. Your dad would be proud I'm sure.
when foreigners come to india
they are moved by the plight of the poor and downtrodden in India
but we are hardened
on my way to the cigarrette vendor and the wine shop, i walk past the out stretched skinny hands of a man who hasnt eaten for days
I dont see
I buy a pack of ciggies at 20 INR
enuff money to buy 15 loaves of bread
and a pint of whiskey at 55 INR
the money that cud have fed the starving man for 3 days
tnx Zhu HUGS!
Keshi.
SO WHAT JIM? Im not God to be everywhere in the world and compare every man's misfortune's to my dad's death!
Ur talking like a moron. This post is not abt India's poverty. How many times do I hv to tell u that this is abt my Dad's death? DONT COMPARE IT WITH UR COUNTRIES' MISFORTUNES. Go tell ur woes to ur politicians, not to me!
Keshi.
My posts abt my dad or my granma or my kitchen or my car, should not bother u so much. This is MY blog FYI.
Im not hear to please/impress anyone or get Brownie points from ppl for posting great HAPPY posts all the time. Im me and this blog represents my exact thoughts - uncut. Accept me as I am or just leave.
Keshi.
hey keshi! im sure ur dad is watching over you and smiling... and even though he's away ur souls must be interacting. they do... wat else can explain surreal dreams of people who are away...
I remember i wrote a post last year on this day and today as soon as i saw the title in my Google reader i knew it was abt this day...
take care keshi!
*Hugs*
sorry
cry if u must
but dont make us cry too
one day lost in crying
is one day less to live
bye
call me when u put up a happy post
Hello Keshi. saw ya comment on my blog.:)
am a little confuse abt what is going on.haha
Hmm..me not posting my post is decided even before i came across ya post. Decided that it was something personal that i wanna keep to myself for now.;)
And haha..its ironic how Jim jumps to conclusion on the nature of my post without even reading it. Oh well..
And as for ya comment to Jim. I juz wanna say thanks Keshi. And nopez no misunderstandings between us.;) MWAHS!It was good to read how u feel in ya comment to Jim.:D Thanks for sharing Keshi.
Ya post was a good thing for me to look at. Given what is awaiting for me to go through.
Still loving ya Gurl..
*HUGGIZ*
For you Keshi.
To YOUR DAD...FROM YOU!
If tears could build a stairway
and memories were a lane
I would walk right up to heaven
to bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken
no time to say goodbye
you were gone before we knew it
and only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness
and secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
no one will ever know!
Sharing in your sorrow.
I know what's it like darlin', as I've lost both my mom and dad.
Love to you....always!
Nitey nite, I'm turning in early tonite, as still feeling a little sick, but much better than I was.
HUGGGGGGGGZ!

OPPS!
I did not write that poem, Keshi.
Author unknown.
It's was on the obit of my friend Mary that died.
Margie
Hi Keshi,
Condolence on the death of your beloved father. I know he is irreplaceable, a one in a million person. It's good to keep the happy memories you have of him in your mind. There he lives forever on your fondest memories of him. God bless you with the courage and grace to bear all the sorrows of his untimely demise.
Hi Keshi
You have all the right in the world to handle your father's death the way you feel you must. No one has the right to rule your feelings. You have the memories. You have something I'll never have.
HUGS
Bev
this really really touched me....
I do believe that people who you love u can carry in your heart..as long as their memory is alive...you dont truly lose them...
its definitely not the same as having them around...
but the thought helps me...
cheers to u keshi!!
AWWWWW!
Thank you Angel!
Your sweet words mean a lot to me.
Right back at you!
love ya!
Now, I'm really going to bed!
Margie
Nobody has any right to judge another's grief and if they think they do, they are a judgmental idiot. We are taught to be so stoic. I think it causes a lot of problems, including physical problems, to stuff our grief. I speak from experience. Your words were moving and from the heart. Don't feel the need to apologize or explain yourself. It's great that you expressed what you feel.
I m right now crying.. for the lack of compassion towards life.. to be jailed by own prejudices.. at least you are free.. !
which I m not.. and I can't xplain it here! take care huns..
i dnt have sympathy for yu.. yu know that..
i m jus envious and proud! I need to learn a lot from yu!
take caer huns!
Your dad would be so proud of you. His beautiful soul lives on. x
Nora
I agree...no one can ever judge another's grief. And how a person grieves is upto them. Who are we to stand in between acting like martyrs thinking we know best..
Kesh... * HUGGGS*
I know ,nothing I say or do can help here...but what you've done here is so right...you're voicing out your feelings and I respect them...and would love to pray for your dad and all the memories you have of him..he wont go away dear...he's within you.
Keshi Sweets. I left a comment back at ya on my page. I honestly think that crying is a really really healthy thing. And the fact of how you have grown as a person sweetie shows how you have grown to be such a strong lady over time. It will never be easy walking in the shoes that you have walked on. And the beautiful part abt u. Is you have discovered some colours through them to have shaped up a strong woman like u thie present day.
*HUGZ* girl. U are precious!
It rains...
when u r sad...
Let it out babe...it definitely helps :)
I feel for you and your loss - I can't imagine life without my Dad - even if my parents are the most annoying people. LOL they annoy out of love :P
This song always makes me teary and I can imagine you listening to it and remembering. A huge hug to Keshi - you're stronger today because of your Dad and I'm sure he would be proud of the wonderful person you have become.
well im sure ur dads proud of u for being such a sweetheart n a "polyglot"...damn i need to go work on my vocab :D...
i hope u r doing fine..may god rest his soul in peace...n im sure hes fine n smiling away at u..
:)
mav..
ps...do u intend to use the medium i gave to u???or its suppose to be gatherin dust sumwhere :)
hey girl...* hugz*
theres nothing i can say which will make it easier for u, hence i will refrain...
i cant even imagine wht u must be going thru...
while u girls were crying your heart out
i went into the kitchen and made navratan korma
i tried to follow the recipe as best as i cud
but i improvised
I used the mirowave to shorten the cooking time
and I dumped in extra ingredients
vegetables that were going stale
it came out well
my folks said
the lady of the house has got a new passion - yoga
lately i been doing the cooking
visit my new blog JIM-CHEF

crying is looked down upon
the same ritual is repeated at the months mind mass
the feni and boiled chana is given by the widow
and we recount tales of the good tmes we had with the old man
and also the notty things he did in his lifetime
and we all go home singing
he was a jolly good fella in konkani
HELPPPP
Hi there. I just found your blog online. I have been a fan of the band Great Society since 1988 when I was in college in Delhi (SRCC) and they came to play for our annual college fest. Sea of Sorrow is one of my most favorite melodies. Unfortunately, over the last 20 years, and moving around - the tape got lost years ago. And I've looked in stores everywhere, but never found their songs. Can you help me get a CD, or a download somewhere, please ? I now live in Tokyo. Would love to lay my hands on their music. Can I buy their music somewhere ? I'm happy to send a cheque or anything.
Thanks
Anil

You are so right in saying that personal grief can never be compared--and i Know, my friend, that you arent wallowing in self pity or sadness.
I could so relate to this post.
Your dad would have been so proud had he read it.
Hugs.
om!
I lost my Dad a few months ago. It's been hard, especially for my Mom.
Your post touched me.
mami...where can i email you...
Touching post.....:)

Hugz

Hugs! :-) God bless you dear... I'm sure you're dad is proud of the person you've become:)
“I'd climb on his shoulders and do all sorts of things to his head and hair and he'd smile beautifully...he bought us pretty dresses on our bdays...he was a father who showed affection...a lion with a soft heart...a tall, handsome, tough-looking guy with a heart so giving and filled with compassion.” I feel sweet memories here keshi.
That was beautiful dedicate to your dad, there we feel the love of this daughter to father. Hug you dear.
Hugs to you darling! Nothing wrong with crying and missing your loved ones. He will be with you always.
My son is down with cold and fever and I can't take it when suffers.
I do understand how you feel in a way, I miss my Thatha(Grandfather) too.I am sure your dad is proud of you Kesh, hugs and kisses to you. It's okay to cry!:)
wow!!! we have similar title name of our blogs, mine is called Viva Sapota!
Aw, pet, don't ever feel you have to apologize for feeling, but I know there are mean people out there who want to crush any honest emotion.
That's why your standards are so high for men, Keshi, you've already been greatly loved.
Keshi - I lost my Mom (my hero) 5 years ago, Dec. 22, 2002. It was unbearable, and I still miss her every day. I can sympathize with your grief and loss. Hugs - and hold on to those precious memories. I like the picture of the little girl on the beach ball. xo

The most beautiful thing is that you never forget. Its how to live knowing that someone has done something and played a great part in our life. He will always look after you Keshi. You are always loved. And your spirit and admiration is a value for all of us to follow. Hugs.
Keshi,
As an angel he is watching you and may be reborn somewhere with a beautiful daughter like you.
Saw ur 'note' today. Precisely the reason I couldn't really come up with anything to put on ur post y'day..
Look ahead.. thats 'bout it! Easier said than done though..
Hi,Keshi-for a change,I am at a loss for words-simply coz I feel the same way when I remember my Mom-I don't look for any compassion,it's just an outpouring of feelings.
You know how someone consoled me when she passed away?I remember those words still,namely' God needs good people like her Up There more than we do,so,he called her up'-and,that's what I say to you,though words can never make up for the loss-namely,God needed a kind-hearted person in Heaven,so,he decided to call your Dad there.TC!
Hi Keshi!
You were blessed with a Great Father!
-He left a love and memories that are greater than the ocean
-He was a father who showed affection
-A lion with a soft hear
-A toll handsoman, tough-looking gay with a heart so giving and filled with compasion.
Very well written memory!
He was great! He is inspiration for many these days young fathers!
You are proud of your father and He was and He is proud of you, Keshi!
Your post is a Great Tribute To Your Father!
He deserved for memory.
I believe that your father's spirit and all that was good and right about Him, will live forever!
It is your please and privilege to talk about your father, you can share your memories of your dear father's life on your blog with pictures too.
It is your personal, lovely place.
Hugsss!
Donno what to say,the tears just flowed cause I could feel the same pain and anguish which I feel everyday thinking of my Mom.Losing a parent is like losing a part pf yourself and life is never whole again,no matter what.But then,as you said to me once,the show must go on,right Babes? :)
May his soul rest in peace and needless to say,he is always with you.Love you sweetie.Take good care.Loads of hugs and kisses!
Trinnie I rem ur heartfelt tribute to my dad and myself last year. Having friends like u is solid proof of my dad's presence.
HUGGGGGGGGGZ!
Keshi.
Its ok Jim..ur forgiven. :)
I dun think crying is a waste of a day...I never suppress my true emotions. I believe holding up emotions wud do me more harm...
Keshi.
tnxx Amy ur an angel for sure! U always make me feel loved and understood.
ty for being YOU. HUGGGGGGGGGZ!
Keshi.
aww Margie thats a beautiful verse. I hv seen it before. Its one of my favs. And u wudnt believe this...I put up the same verse for my dad in an online Memorial site long time ago!!! Yes the exact same verse!
**as I've lost both my mom and dad.
HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGZ! ur so brave hun. I know I cant do wut ur doing. U r so very brave!
I hope u had a good nite's sleep :) MWAH!
Keshi.
And Margie I rem ur friend all the time. God bless her soul!
Keshi.
ty so much Mel!

Keshi.
ty so much Bev!
**You have the memories. You have something I'll never have.
Im so sorry Bev..atleast I hv the Memories, I know. HUGGGGGGGGGGGGZ! I dunno how u feel not having any memories of ur parents...but I know it must be very difficult. ***tears***
Keshi.
True Vitruvian...their love and memories live on in our hearts...
And I u'stand that this body has to die some day...and that we hv to part from one another. Sometimes I feel its all a pack of lies...this life.
Keshi.
hehehehe Margie I hope u somehow went to bed? :)
Keshi.
You know he's right there somewhere watching his girl so successful in life and he must be smiling the same way he did before :)
Muuuaaahhh hun and a very warm hug >:D<
ty so much Judge!
**We are taught to be so stoic. I think it causes a lot of problems, including physical problems, to stuff our grief.
yes. We r taught to be always brave and we r taught to shun sad feelings. I say feel em fully. Wuts the point hiding behind a mask of emotions? Be human instead. Running away from tears just cos it's 'negative' is a foolish thing. Nothing is as negative as denying true feelings.
HUGS luv!
Keshi.
Veenz MWAHHHHH!
**I m right now crying.. for the lack of compassion towards life.. to be jailed by own prejudices.. at least you are free
aww...my advice to u wud be never to be afraid of Prejudices...never to be a slave of the Society. Instead, do wut u think is right for u.
Im sure ur already there...I see a confident, loving, compassionate soul in Veenz...I do. And I dun lie.
::HUGS::
Keshi.

But when we lose a parent, we realise how much they MEAN to us...its a bummer actually..cos u only realise after u lose em.

You haven't lost your dad, he is still in you heart - that is how we live on, in the thoughts and love of others.
n im bck :)..
I have a very close friend Mendes
he had been diagnosed as cancer
He had one eye scooped out
after the operation
he was diagnosed as all clear
no sign of cancer
He bounced back to life
subsequently he wanted to be more sure
he tested again
all sorts of scans
this time the reports were not conclusive
he went in for more diagnosistic tests
this time they said the cancer was still there
he is back into treatment
the docs are happy
he is in misery
but he is a devout christian
Jesus, help me to live one day at a time- he cries out
sad? funny?
I too have a lump in my back
I believe it is just an insect bite
I dont want to have it removed or tested
FUCK
what does it matter if it is cancer or not?
cancer is a slow death
most likely i will die sooner by being run over by a train or a truck or a bomb blast
the roads in Mumbai are hazardous
u can get killed by a drunk driver like Salamn Khan while walking on the pavement
and i cross the railway tracks a lott to avoid being nabbed by a TC
i travel ticketless on Indian travellers
i hate standing in long Qs for a ticket
one day at a time sweet Jesus
hehehehe
i dont know what to say keshi...
i know that no amount of condolences will matter...because when ppl u love are taken away from u,its impossible not to miss them ...
but im sure ur dad is watching u from up there and is very proud of his lil lady :)
hugzzz
sheeesshhhh
sweet sticky and chewy
girls wooing girls
love, loves, lovezzzzzzzz ya!:D
Keshi,
Their love and blessings are ALWAYS with us!!
My father's bd was the 8th of Feb., he would've been 82...
I miss them both! (mom & dad)
Hugs & Blessings
Coco
