2006 ended very sadly for my family. We lost our brave Ganesh. I remember the day he came home for the first time. So tiny and perfect in his own ways. Watching him grow up along with the rest of us was great. Atha’s smile would light up when he did something silly and he adored the attention. So full of life so little time……Saying goodbye to you was so very hard, for deep down I prayed that life would just give you a chance to come thru. You looked happy and at peace and I knew that you had made your decision. I felt totally helpless, upset that the science I knew couldn’t help you, angry that the faith I so deeply believed in wouldn’t save you.
I’m going to terribly miss the emails you send me with such love. One day the tears will stop but I don’t think the void will ever go away. I hope where ever you are baby boy that you are deliriously happy and free to do whatever your heart desires. I was reading this poem when you were in the hospital putting up your brave fight and I knew what was coming……. Goodbye Dear Ganesh you will always be dearly missed and fondly remembered.
Love
Rajini Akka
When I look at your eyes, I see your true self.
I see you’re sweet, and caring.
I see you’re giving and forgiving.
I see your love for life. When I look at your eyes I stop myself from crying
When I’m alone and think about your eyes I cry.
I can’t stop thinking that one day I’ll never see those eyes again
That I’ll never see the love or the sweetness
Or the love that makes you who you are.
One day you’ll be gone – gone from us.
Gone from this world.
No matter what happens, those eyes will one day close
And forever rest in peace.But you’ll never be completely gone,
Because every time I close my eyes,
There you will be.
