Dearest Reena, as I was reading this I could feel your pain. Losing a parent has been the biggest fear that has plagued my entire life as I believe it might have been yours- that dreaded phone call and a long flight back home. You experience that pain to an extent when your loved one loses a parent and sometimes I wonder if it is to build an inner strength when your turn comes. Thank you for baring your grief so bravely and sharing it. I can't help but mention the obvious; how blessed you are to have had such exceptional parents who were also good human beings. They will continue to live on in you and through you. They will touch many more lives much after they are gone through your writing and interactions. Sending you love and a hug.

So beautiful - I could feel your loss and pain! Losing both parents is indeed a milestone in our individual journey and growth and that we all have to go through - I am so fearful of that day myself! Your parents made you an awesome human being who will survive and thrive, and those memories will always be with you! Take care!!
