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.

Leave a tributeAnd never will be again,
Our memories are much richer,
Than if love had never been."
love you ..
God ..how I miss you
I stand and search
I canot find you
I run and run
where can you be
I start to panic....where are you.. then I remember . You are where u belong. Right here in my heart.
except those loving ones on my heart,
Please know that to you in heaven,
My love always will I impart.
I need you
miss you sooo much. It hurts soooo much
forever..
My wounds are healing slow
I want so much to hear your voice
To see your smile's glow
This is not the end.
So I will just say, "So long..."
Until we meet again.
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.
The moon sees somebody whom I want to see.
God bless the moon and God bless me
God bless the person that I want to see.
Forever to love you.
Forever to be your mother,
And forever to be my son.
I think I just heard your voice,
what did you say?
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.
Din dhal jaye... per raat na jaaye..
tu toh na aeye teri yaad sataye
And your hand we cannot touch,
We have so many memories,
Of you, my son, we loved so much.
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.
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.
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.
So sudden on earth the sorrow fell;
The blow was hard, the shock severe,
To part with one I loved so dear.
No heart so tender, true
No sorrow life could bring us
To equal losing you.
missing you more and more every day. I died too.
Your memories are like whispers ...calling me. and I wonder , ...when?
stars in the sky,
but rather openings
where our loved ones
shine down
to let us know they
are happy.
All the time I keep on wondering that where are you...
Of the loving family you left behind.
how much i miss you no one knows
Days will pass away into years
And we'll think about...
Those memories in silent tears.
sadiyon se lambee hain ratein,
aur uss se bhee lambe hain din.
Kuch AAS nahin kuch AAS bhi hay
MEIN apnay khayaloon ke sadkay
, “TU” pass nahin aur pass bhi hay
Leave a Tribute
I have decided to see you as a source of joy for 19 years rather than source of grief . I will always remember you witg a smile on my lips and even if a lump rises in my throat , i will let it pass with no resistance .
God bless you my child , wherever you are .
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.
Please be patient.
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.
