For Grand-ma

Dear Grand-ma,

I am writing you a letter and posting it online, because I believe that you will be able to see it.  

I just want you to know that you meant so much to me.  I loved visiting you, and hearing the sound of your voice, when we spoke on the phone.  I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the kindness, love, and genuinely sweet gestures you have shown me since I was a baby.  I will never forget these memories, and will carry them in my heart forever.

Your home-cooked meals were the best, because you cooked with a lot of love.  I will never, ever forget the taste of the cauliflower (Indian style gobi) you cooked, especially for me.  It stands alone.

You were a very strong and brave person, and I admire and respect you so much.  I also love you very, very much.  May your soul rest in peace, and I hope you have been reunited with Grand-pa in heaven, and smiling down at me.

A few weeks ago, while visiting a park in London, I saw a beautiful layout of flowers.  I know you were fond of bright, vibrant colors and flowers, and snapped a picture of them for you.  See below.

Lots of love and kisses,
