My Dearest Alma,
Your leaving this earthly abode makes me utterly, utterly sad. I know we had a connection from beyond this earth and this birth to sometime long before that only played out in this life. It is not a coincidence that you came in my life to be a solid friend, guide, confidant and a soul sister. It is not coincidence that you offered your love to me. You epitomised love, and you shared it with me with all the generosity of your heart. I see this miracle as a soul connection that played out in this living life for me.
You gave me a place in your heart. You are an integral part of my world and memory so beautiful. Perhaps I have many many memories of this life that I can access with you being part of my world: the memories that linger of the long conversations in your home when making masala chai or preparing an exotic dish that you wanted me to taste, showing of the nurturer you were. Then there are memories of our travels to all the spiritual and historical places in India. You made it a point to remember me on all your travels abroad – for every souvenir you picked up for me showed you unconditional love and care.
Today, I take comfort in only this one thing: that life is a continuum. It is just that you have gone ahead of me, and that will be a void until then. You must promise me one thing: that you will allow our effortless soul connection of friendship, love, care and oneness to continue for all the many lifetimes beyond the now.
Your strength, will, courage, grace and equanimity to face life’s greatest challenge with poise, elegance, style, humility, laughter and twinkle in your eyes will burn like a candle in my heart.
I will celebrate your life with the spirit of what you epitomise, my Dearest Alma, in all ways YOU.
I love you much Alma. Always. Forever.
Your soul sister, friend,
Lavanya
