December 5, 2023
So much has happened since you've left. We've all had to grow up. We're all still working on dealing with the silence. We're all still trying to distribute all of what you did, among ourselves. We're all remembering you every step of the way.
For the last 3 months, you've been sitting inside my head. Music, business talks, shaadi talks, construction, festivals, migraines, while playing with babies, while eating matar chawal- I miss you through it all. It doesn't help that mom tells me and Aarjav thrice a day, "gosh you're just like him" (in different ways of course- I think Aarjav got a better deal)
I never understood why you helped others without getting or expecting anything in return. Now I KNOW it was for us. Whether it's special treatment on a trip thanks to your friends, or helping me find a job, thanks to your friends, you did the work and we're getting the benefits. It's surprising how much power "acha aap Jain sahab ki beti/ke bete ho" has
Today we celebrated Chachu's 60th birthday and did everything you would have, had you been here. Even though you didn't get to celebrate your 60th, I can bet on my life that YOU would've been the happiest today.
I really miss you all the time and I'm not exaggerating. It's way too quiet without you.
