My first posting on my new blog in which I behave as Me and not the Chef in me. KunjuKuttans has been coined using the first half of my late parents' adorable names.
And what better day to launch it than the one year anniversary of the day my father was put on a ventilator and that marked the culmination of my beautiful childhood. Within five days he passed on...
Been tossing and turning all night long and can actually feel their presence by my side. Time should heal...Time is taking time to do so :) or I guess I am not cooperating as I want to cling on...
Not a day goes by, this may all sound so abstract but if you had the kind of childhood I had, you would comprehend the intensity of this loss!
My mother-in-law who is in her mid seventies and quite ill with Parkinsons, often tells me whenever we have our moments to chitchat, that she still feels her parents' presence and she would sing their praises to me...so, it's not unique, there are people like her as well who think about such losses and continue to grieve!
Sombody asked me to pray for my father's soul and to let go...weird I thought to myself, a non-believer such as I pray!!! What words would comfort me in prayer and to whom or what?
And there are so many people already praying for this or that, two ears are not enough to hear the umpteenth prayer request echoing throughout the world.
My mother had a great deal of Will power and my father was very often the Way and guiding light for us, thus the birth of "The Will and The Way" came into existence today!
I rest my case!
