Dear Nani

A good chi sounded my ever beaming nani's arrival home. She filled our lives in unconcivible ways with her infectious chuckle. At the crack of dawn, we would wake to her radiant smile. A  hot snack with a cup of tea teamed with some fruits would add to her delight. A simple spread was returned with heartfelt blessings. 

As her Health was restored we were witness to more episodes of her naughtiness. She would take us by surprise and burst into random Gujarati songs to avoid that walk after lunch or dinner. She would unflinchingly down everything that was served on her plate. Her seamless joy was vivid every time she tasted something sweet. Sweetness is something she took to rather literally. She consumed sweetness and what she imbued out of it was what she rippled back in the environment around her.  

A house full of people would make her very happy. The subtle C. I. D. in her would encourage her to raise questions about the missing member. Anxiety would grip her till the member did not come home. The minute she would hear us call her name she would respond with her majestic smile. 

Nani truly was an epitome of patience. She knew very well how to keep her pain from her face. Her clear aura did not even give us a hint of suffering towards the end. She peacefully parted leaving behind nostalgic memories. 

Today We celebrate her life, and are very happy to have earned the opportunity to serve her and garner those wondrous memories with a blissful soul.
