To live in the hearts, we leave behind...

is not to die .

 

This memorial website was created in the memory of our dearest loved one, Abhijeet Singh, 19, born on March 7, 1992 and passed away on August 10, 2011. We  miss you from  our life and the big vaccumm you have created can be filled by none.I wish you knew how much you were loved.

Abhijeet  was persuing Mechanical Enginneering  from Manipal University. He was a strapping young man, 6 feet in height and an endearing smiling face. He was gregarious, fun and outdoors loving person who just loved to be in company of his friends.He was fond of trekking,  mountain climbing, Squash, and football. He was also very fond of clicking photographs and getting clicked.He was very fond of gadgets and new gizmos like any other teenager.He was fond of all things manly like motor bikes, guns, tanks  submarines,  fighter lanes, and other military paraphrenalia.

 His passion was ' Flying.'.. fighter aircrafts... so much so that I assume that in his last incarnation he must have been a fighter pilot. His passion was to soar in heavens. His only aim in life was to join Indian Air Force after his enginnering degree.He would have flown Sukhois and that would have been the happiest times in his life. If only God willed...

Abhijeet was a caring  loving son and a great elder brother to Abhishek. He was a role model and an ideal for his younger brother. He is greatly missed as a grand son and nephew and  as a great buddy to his numerous friends.  Abhijeet had moved frequently with his family and had learned to make friends fast. Naturally humble, and blessed with a jovial personality and wonderful sense of humor, people were quickly drawn to him.Wherever he went, he spread good cheer and sprinkled life and zest with his great sense of hiumour.How polite, compassionate and incredibly funny he was. He oozed maturity way beyond his years.Never did he ever utter a disparaging remark or critical word for anybody. He was the most compassionate and nonjudgemental person I have ever known.


   As a tale,  so is life ; not how long it is , but how good it is , what matters. 

We lost Abhijeet on 10 August 2011. He had gone for a swim in the Arabian sea with his friend Jana Kish. Both of them entered the sea around 3.o clock in the afternoon, never to come out again. And we were left with this deep stabbing pain in the heart and a with a  big question in the mind for the Almighty to answer-WHY?

Why was life snuffed out of a person so full of life and love for life? Why one of us is taken while the rest of us remain to endure the pain? For there are just so many things that no one can explain. The most painful goodbye was bid to him on 13th August and up  went in flames our hope, dreams and future imagined for him.

Abhijeet,we have you in our hearts while God has you in his arms. You have left your footprints on our hearts , and we will never be the same again. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

WHERE LOVE IS , DEATH CAN NEVER BE THE END OF THE STORY.  YOU are MY forever CHILD.

 Life is eternal, and love is immortal,and death is only a horizon;
and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.

My son is not my PAST.HE IS MY FUTURE. We do not stop carrying those we love in our hearts and minds because we can't see or touch them. Their memories remain alive as an active part of our lives. Honoring memories is about preserving the gifts of love God allowed to grace our lives with on this earth. It's a holy love that dwells in the places carved inside our  hearts by love itself. It's part of the reason we are Who we are.

This  site is  still in the process of construction. Please visit  it  again soon. And please do write something to let me know you were here to celebrate the  living spirit of my Son.

And never will be again,

It's months now since you've passed
My wounds are healing slow
I want so much to hear your voice
To see your smile's glow

I will not say "Good-bye".
This is not the end.
So I will just say, "So long..."
Until we meet again.

In the morning
When I began to wake,
It happened again--

That feeling
That you, 
Had stood over me all night
Keeping watch,

That feeling
That as soon as I began to stir

You put Your lips on my forehead
And lit a Holy lamp
Inside my heart.

What if all this is actually an illusion... what if all this is just a bad dream... what if my son is happy and safe and content... what if he would throw arms around my neck and hug me tight with Love You Mom... what if I would still be worrying silly about his carreer, wellbeing and safety and still dreaming of his sunny tomorrows and rosy future... so many what ifs...

I am wishing I could hear your voice. The thought of how long it has been that I hugged you made me knotty in the stomach. The fact that i will not have any more pics of you and how will you look 2yrs from now, and five yrs from now or more is making me sick

I want to tell you that you lived your life well. You made all around you proud. You gave us unconditional love. You were a good man. Kind, caring, gentle. You made me proud. As I sit and write to you tonight, I cry tears of thankfulness that I was the one chosen to be your mother. That I had the opportunity to be a part of your life, and be loved by you.

The tears fall, they're so easy to wipe off on to my sleeve,but how do I erase the stain from my heart?

And forever to be my son.

This place has become my refuge.A place where it is ok to cry with no one telling me- I need to move forward. I am not something that can be fixed. I just canot pick up the thread of life where it "let off'. I hope those around me will understand that I will never be the same again. I hope they will accept the 'new me' and the road i now walk. Love you my Son.

i am sitting here pretending I am ok , then I start to pray hoping you are okay.
I think I just heard your voice,
what did you say?

For one so young to have departed so soon leaving behind so much to have been done so many stones unturned I can only pay tribute to your ambition and verve for life though unrequited.

I remember your loving smile, your baby talk, I distinctly remember 4 and a half yrs old. Your passing away has created a void in all your loved ones heart ; just a note to say we love you.

Abhijeet you were not only my roomie but one my best friends.... We've done so many things together in manipal... we shared hard and great times together.. I remember the way you used to dream about your sukhoi. i still remeber that it was your ultimate dream to sit in the cockpit of the sukhoi and soar into the endless skies. We dearly miss you buddy. You will always live in our hearts

Dear Aunty,
I have never before known someone so closely and who lives in our world no more.I remember the day I came to bid goodbye to Abhijeet,I had been holding back my tears for long,but when I saw U crying for your son,I could not control myself.I was called there to comfort you but I was extremely disturbed and could feel your pain.

Dear Enu. I have never met you and your kids. Kuldeep was my fav.boy in univercity. Extremly bright and civilized. I have visualised Abhi with that. Today I saw his pic for the first time and read about his hight. What a handsome man he would have grown and what a fine son he was.I once again pray, that he lives in his eternal home in peace.My affection to you ,Kuldeep and the younge one.

"The wind has captured the seed of the flower blowing its way. It takes it tucked away in its palm and distributes it gently in another part of the world where eventually all will become joined and share in the beauty of such similar world consciousness. Share your own beauty this day with those who cross your path and we will begin together!" ~ Petey

Your smile has gone forever,
And your hand we cannot touch,
We have so many memories,
Of you, my son, we loved so much.

From Christopher Robin to Winnie the Pooh----
If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together...there is something you must always remember, you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think; but the most important thing is, even if we're apart...I'll always be with you.

May you always walk in sunshine and God's love around you flow,
For the happiness you gave us, no one will ever know,
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone,
A part of us went with you the day God called you home,
A million times we've needed you, a million times we've cried,
If love could only have saved you, you never would have died.

A page in the book of memory,
Silently turns today.
We remember you in silence,
And make no outward show.
And what it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.

Sad was the parting, no one can tell,
So sudden on earth the sorrow fell;
The blow was hard, the shock severe,
To part with one I loved so dear.
February 2, 2012
February 2, 2012
No smile so endearing,
No heart so tender, true
No sorrow life could bring us
To equal losing you.
February 2, 2012

This world seems a cold place without you...
missing you more and more every day. I died too.
Your memories are like whispers ...calling me. and I wonder , ...when?

Perhaps those are not
stars in the sky,
but rather openings
where our loved ones
shine down
to let us know they
are happy.

Dear Abhijeet - I see your gentle face and your sweet nature. I can't help but feel so sad here - I see how much your Mom is suffering because she lost you but I can't help but think of the rest of your family in those pictures. I hope they know to pull together and hold on tight to each other. Please get this message through to them ASAP

You can see it, how the world continues spinning long after your loved one took that last breath. People around you are grocery shopping, going to the movies, going out to eat, celebrating life, and me...I want it all to stop. I want it to stop so I can breathe again. But it doesn't work that way. :-(

Gates of memories will never close,
how much i miss you no one knows
Days will pass away into years
And we'll think about...
Those memories in silent tears.

Since heaven has become you new home, I always feel so all alone, And though we are not far apart, you will always hold a piece of my heart.

I'll Meet you
On the days I miss you most
I'll close my eyes and sleep.
I'll meet you in my dreams
in a moment we can keep.

I'll meet you with a hug
and with things I want to say.
I'll meet you under the sun
or a different place each day.

I'll meet you by the river
or back at our old home.
And at the times I cannot find you
In my dreams i shall still roam.

I'll meet you in the coffee shop
or at your favourite place.
I don't care just where it is
as long as I see your face.

I'll meet you at a park
so you can watch the children play.
You can take their laughter
back to heaven every day.

I'll meet you on each birthday
we no longer get to share.
I don't care just where it is
but I'll meet you there.

I'll meet you in the sunshine
or in the pouring rain.
I will walk through any storm
just to see you again.

I will meet you in my thoughts
a million times a day,
along with every memory
I am lucky to replay.

There’s an order that life is supposed to follow.

An order of breaths we are supposed to take,
as if we are passing a torch from one generation to the next.

And our torch is supposed to go out before our child’s flame is extinguished.

We are supposed to watch them take their first breath.
But not their last.

We are supposed to hear the thud-thud of their heart when it starts beating.
But never the silence when it stops.

That heart that we once carried inside of us. That breath that we gave them. That life that we kept safe, protected.

So when the order of life is disrupted,
when their torch goes out before yours,
it is as if you too have been robbed of your breath
and as if your heart has stopped beating as well.

There is nothing that can make it less painful.
You would happily blow out your flame if it meant theirs could burn. 

But you can’t. Even though that’s how it should be.

So all you can do is carry them inside you - 
like you did once before. 
Except now they have to stay in your heart forever.

And though it hurts,
just know that they are safe there. 
They are protected.

Because a mother’s love is unending.
Because it burns forever with every breath you take and 
with every beat your heart makes.

Because a mother’s love
is a flame that can 
never
be extinguished.

— You Don’t Just Lose Someone Once —
You lose them over and over, 
sometimes many times a day.
When the loss, momentarily forgotten,
creeps up, 
and attacks you from behind.
Fresh waves of grief as the realisation hits home,
they are gone.
Again.

You don’t just lose someone once, 
you lose them every time you open your eyes to a new dawn,
and as you awaken, 
so does your memory, 
so does the jolting bolt of lightning that rips into your heart,
they are gone.
Again.

Losing someone is a journey,
not a one-off.
There is no end to the loss,
there is only a learned skill on how to stay afloat,
when it washes over.

Be kind to those who are sailing this stormy sea, 
they have a journey ahead of them,
and a daily shock to the system each time they realise,
they are gone,
Again.

You don’t just lose someone once, 
you lose them every day, 

for a lifetime.

 I  miss my son today. That goes without saying, I suppose, since I miss him every day. But on this day the pain is particularly sharp, the ache especially deep. I miss my friend, I miss my brother, I miss my protégé. I miss the son of my youth, the delight of my heart. I miss seeing him and hugging him, I miss teaching him and learning from him, I miss the sound of his voice and the cackle of his laugh. I miss having a son at all. I just plain miss my son . 

The time between now and when he went to heaven has passed so quickly, yet so slowly. It often feels like it was just yesterday that we received the phone call, just yesterday that we endured the cremation , just yesterday that we watched your body being claimed by orange yellow flames and the  pervasive smell of death.
 But at the same time it feels like it was a lifetime ago. We were different people back then, a different family with different desires, different assumptions, a different understanding of life and death and the God .
And just as the time between now and when my Son went to heaven has passed both quickly and slowly, I expect that the time between now and when I go to heaven will pass both quickly and slowly. This life is a dash, a blip, a vapor, yet just as truly a slog, a marathon, a long and wearying pilgrimage. I have often observed that while the brevity of life is best seen in retrospect, it’s the slowness of life that tends to be felt in the moment. It may be brief as we look back on it, but it’s long as we live it.
And it feels long today. It looks long today. It looks long as I gaze into the future and see a road laid out before me that may well lead through months, years, decades. It looks longer still as I consider the heavy burden of grief God has called me to bear. I am confident I can carry a great weight for a short distance, but far less confident that I can carry it for many miles or many years. I just don’t know how I will bear up under this sorrow if I have to carry it all the way to the end.
And just so, while God has called me to bear my grief for a lifetime, and to do so faithfully, he has not called me to bear the entire weight of it all at once. The burden of a whole lifetime’s grief would be far too heavy to bear and the challenge far too daunting to consider. But the God who knows my frailty has broken that assignment into little parts, little days, and has promised grace sufficient for each one of them. My challenge for today is not to bear the grief of a lifetime but only to carry today’s grief  that he has spread out before me.My  God-given task began this morning and extends only until tonight. Then, when I awaken with the dawning of a new day, I will awaken to new blessings, new strength, and new grace that will allow me to be strong  through that day as well.
