    Every once in a while I suddenly remember her and I feel so sad. I can only imagine how terrible it must be for you and your family. I wish for you and them wonderful memories of her Deej and the strength to bear the sad ones.

    Thank you, Suj, for being such a wonderful support. I pray your wishes reach my uncle and aunt and gran and help them deal with their pain.

    Hugs dearo. I was thinking of you but wasn't sure if her birthday was today or in March. (Sorry!) And I didn't want to ask because I didn't want to bring on more grief by reminding you.

    I couldn't stop the tears as I saw her pic as a newborn. I am sorry once again. There's nothing that can be said in consolation. Hang in there.

    Just looking at her pictures, hearing you talk about her, this tiny bright little sparkling child, one is overwhelmed with grief at her no longer being around for her family and all those who knew her. May they have the strength to deal with this constant absence in their lives. I am sure her soul is twinkling away merrily somewhere close to her Maker.

    I am so sorry for your family's loss DG. Mere words are inadequate. I read the post with tears in my eyes and I cannot imagine what her parents are going through. I am so sorry once again.

    Still can't digest it yaar. She was so cute. What a waste of life! I feel sorry for you and the family that lost her. Somehow I keep remembering about her on and off. Prayers for her parents and anna to keep going. How is the 'anna' doing?

    Thank you, girls, for all your lovely, kind thoughts. I go without thinking about her for a couple of minutes and then the third minute, the realisation hits like a thunderbolt. Same with her pix too - I have the photos running in a slideshow in my desktop and suddenly, when her pics pop out, it is like a kick to the face.

    I saw a cherished pic - the only one - of me and her taken during the only holiday we all went together. And it hit me - I will never get to hold her again; never will take a picture with her again. Never see her again.

    And I cried for her parents. If I am feeling so awful, I cannot even imagine the hell my maami and uncle are living through.

    Her anna is doing better - thanks for asking, Subhs. At long last, he has begun talking about her. He went to sleep in their room, on the bed for the first time ater Oct 31, two days back. So - progress.
