Vadi Mummy ❤️‪💔 Pritam‬
Gurmukhi: ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮ‬
‪Meaning: Beloved‬
‪ਮਿਲਿ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮ ਦੁਖੁ ਕਟਿਆ ਸਬਦਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਾ ਹੋਇ ॥‬
‪मिलि प्रीतम दुखु कटिआ सबदि मिलावा होइ ॥‬
‪Mil parīṯam ḏukẖ katiā sabaḏ milāvā hoe.‬
‪Meeting with my Beloved, my suffering has ended; I have attained Union with the Word of the Shabad.‬
‪Guru Amar Das.‬ Just like that, you were gone, all our conversations, word searches & life together at an end. 34 years of being raised & nurtured by you, no amount of time would have been enough for me, the centre of everything, the light, strong, bold, resilient, home & the best of us. ‪Totally, utterly, irrationally heartbroken, I always knew this day would be the worst, & my feelings totally selfish, how would I ever be without you. All you did was give, through much pain & strife. In the end, you were alone, none of us there, having been everything for us.‬ You were something so important to so many people for so many decades. I know we’ve all lost them, someone central to everything. ‪Today, I don’t know if there is any me, without you, I don’t know who I am without you. I didn’t want to have to know either, I know I must accept guru’s hukam, I know you would tell me that, I’m sorry I never got what you wanted me to do, before you left me. ‬ ‪We could survive anything because you were there, you were home, permanent solace, there was always direction, I wish I was stronger and more like you. I know strength will come, for now everything is broken, and my life means less without you, I wish I could have said goodbye.‬ All I can pray is that Guru Jee has taken you into their charan. ‪It’s selfish isn’t it, you were a whole person as well as being my Nani, but that one of your many many roles, filled my whole heart and soul for decades. ‬Another chapter will come, you will have been telling me to be stronger than this, but today I’m just broken, utterly broken without you.

34 years of soaring, blinding, unwavering, sublime love & support. The only thing they would accept was to be a more excellent human being because of them, but I don’t feel ready for that. Not today, not yet.

Huge love to my family scattered everywhere around the world. by @immykaur

Overthinking the good things as well.
Last week it was my 41st Birthday. The last time I remember feeling over the moon to celebrate was between about 30-34, since my Massi died when I was nearly 21, who shared my birthday I had always always loved being a MASSIVE BIRTHDAY MONTH FOOL. Enjoying every second of being alive and the privilege of it all.
Then came 2020, and it all went so wrong, I could barely breathe after my Nani died, I would sit at tables and just start sobbing, or put a sock in my mouth and get on my knees in the shower and scream with tears, for the next 4 years especially so much happened with work, beautiful game changing things but also some of the worst most heartbreaking experiences of my life, my health and everything dived south, and I was just limping along. Last year health was getting better, and I really tried to celebrate and over the years everyone around me especially oldest buddies at CS really tried to keep the joy alive, but it was the struggle bus. I thought maybe it was just gone, and that’s ok.
Over the last two years have rebuilt so much in myself and with a much deeper set of blessings, health and so much has been better, some quite difficult things have still happened, but realising now it’s just part and parcel of trying to do something in a system that wants to kill it and all of us literally and metaphorically by design.
Last week was like CTRL ALT DELETE, I didn’t realise I could and would feel and laugh like this again, thank you friends, thank you @civic_square pals and thank you to one of the best of us, a genius of our time in every way @byngtown YOU GUYS ROCK — in more ways than I can ever thank you 💙 taken in Monstre by @immykaur

Feel like I’ve had a Ctrl Alt Delete, and healed from so much compared this same trip 2 years ago. Nothing will short cut relationship, care, love, sticking it out, and focusing deeply on the work and beyond yourself — I was grateful then, I’m grateful now but it doesn’t have to all be so hard together, we can be so much more together without hurting one another so much. Blessed 💛

Also a little shout out for the beautiful embodiment of life and love @aaliisarah 💛 taken in Arles, France by @immykaur
