All my life, I’ve been told I look exactly like my grandmother when she was young. At this time, it’s been both the most beautiful and the hardest thing to hear. My sweet Achchi passed, surrounded by loved ones in the early morning hours of August 19th. She always loved a full house, and in her last days she was visited by so many loved ones. She was a fighter, and she tried her best to say goodbye to as many people as she possibly could before she went. Her passing has been so heavy on my heart, in so many ways, but I’m happy that I can say she is no longer suffering through her Alzheimer’s and Demnetia, and she can rest in peace. My family and I have been looking through lots of photos and old albums lately, recounting sweet memories, laughing, crying, working hard and preparing to say our goodbyes tomorrow. It all just feels too soon, and too much, but our family has the most incredible support system, and I am so thankful for that. I don’t have the capacity to say all I want to say, other than I love you so much Achchi, may you attain the supreme bliss of Nibbana. I hope that I can make you proud. 🤍
