Dear Uncle

This is very shocking news to me. Few days back I was texting with Shalini and also tried to skype but did not get any response.I could never imagine that we have lost you. You were always so lively and enthusiastic. When I look back it seems that mano kal ki hi baat hai
when we all enjoyed together in Madison and Minneapolis.I wish we could have met sometimes again but you left us........We will miss you uncle. pray that you rest in peace....

Dear Papa

Its been 2327 days (6 years, and 4 months and 14 days) since I could find you; since I could fight with you... We did fight a lot, didn't we? Wish we had more time together. Wish there was something I could have done to improve your quality of life in last few months. Wish I was there... Wish I just held your hands and listened... But I wanted so badly to see you walk again and it had been a while since I did. May be I should've given more importance to what you wanted.
I had all the good intentions. I loved you very much and will always do. How can I not? You are in my Heart just like the three others now. I still needed you. Hope you know that.
Love you and missing you.
Your daughter

Dear Sushil and family.
I'd like to express my deep appreciation for Sushil's participation in the University of Wisconsin adapted fitness program. Over the course of the last few years Sushil blessed us with his presence and participation and helped to train hundreds of new health and medical professionals by his presence in the program. I would like to express my deep condolences but again my deepest appreciation for all of you who helped encourage and support his coming to work with us. I would have to say that barring health and medical issues Sushil was one of the most dedicated reliable and consistent participants that we had in the program's history.

Personally for me I greatly enjoyed Sushil's involvement as a client but also as a friend. He had a stealthy under-the-radar type of humor that we all looked forward to when he was in attendance. I know that we will all miss him but we will all look forward to seeing him again and also we are extremely happy to know that he is now reunited with his wife and other family members who are welcoming him to the next stage of existence. Much appreciation and thank you so much for sharing him with us here at the University of Wisconsin adapted fitness and personal training program.

To Sushil's family
I met him at the Adapted classes he was a wonderful man. I learned so much from him, he was always ready to work hard. Sushil always had a smile for everyone. He will live in our memories forever.

Dear Papa

How is it that I am writing this to you? You are supposed to be at Belmont, giving everybody a hard time! When I left you on October 22nd, you were sitting in the lounge with others. When I said 'see you next time', you looked so sad... so very sad... I hated to leave you. I wish there was something more I could have done to make all the bad things go away. I am sad that you are gone and that you were alone at the time... You had your cell phone in your hand. Were you trying to call me? I am sad that I wasn't here for you on your anniversary at XMas. I am sad that you didn't get to send Mummy a balloon. But I know that you are with her and happy by her side. Don't upset her; talk to her to her heart's content. Babaji, Ammaji - You are all together now. I like to think so. 

This morning I sat around the hotel room, looking around and a bit lost. I used to have to get ready very quickly so I could come for a visit with you. Today you next texted me to find out where I was. I almost expected you to ping me. I still need you very much. May be I didn't realize it how much. I miss you already. Miss you very much. Will you come and see me in my dreams? All my old life, my childhood life is now gone; all four of you are gone. I miss that life; miss all of you; and right now I miss you most of all. I never thought when I left you last that I won't see you again. 

Why did I not miss a beat and felt a pang as you left this World? Why did I have to receive a phone call to know that you were gone? How could we have been so close and yet not have felt the loss? I don't know... Wish you would come back. We were going to go to Botanical Gardens again. You had plans... What of them? Why so sudden? It hurts so much because you know...

I hope you knew how much I loved you. I hope you knew that when I was angry with you, it was because I was just angry with me for not being able to fix things; for not being able to make your life just a little bit easier. I am sorry that I failed. I tried but...

I love you so very much; and miss you even more.
Come back...

Love you
Gudia
