Saturday, November 03, 2007

Celebrate life. It is so precious and unique and yet taken for granted by most of us.

Believe in God. Those who believe in Him, have a channel to vent their feelings. Those who don't, have no such reprieve.

Finally - Learn to appreciate every minute of your life. For all you know, maybe there won't be any minute after the current one.

It has been an eventful two weeks for me. I consider this period as a life altering period. I had to go through a sea of emotions - sometimes barely managing to keep afloat and sometimes just engulfed by it. I learnt quite a few aspects of life in this period.

1. Man proposes. God disposes.
2. That doesn't make God a bad guy!
3. Everything in this world has a reason and a purpose.
4. Money has no meaning at all in the bigger schema of things.

We are still awed by Mother Nature and Her surprises. We may be beating our chest that we achieved a very high degree of scientific quotient perfected over the centuries but at the end of the day, Nature (or as I prefer - God) has the last laugh.

My dear Ishaan - You have shown me the meaning of life. It is really unfortunate that it had to come to this for me to understand the finer aspects of how life fits into the bigger picture. You have just turned 18 months old but you have achieved something most of us - adults - couldn't achieve. You have saved two lives and given the power of eyesight to two more. That's four people thanking you for the rest of their lives.

My dear Ishaan - May your soul rest in peace. Thank you for being with us all these 18 months. I understand you have other important tasks to handle. Wherever you are, I hope you achieve what you are set to do. And when you feel like returning to our world, please do consider us again. We are just waiting for you. We will wait for the rest of our lives.

Love
Venu

I am really overwhelmed. Thank you all for your support.

It was all unexpected and took only about 10 days from the day it was diagnosed to the the day it was all over. However we knew from the third day onwards that there was no hope.

I had the money, the resources everything - I could have taken him to anywhere in the world for his treatment. But what I didn't have was TIME. However when I talked to an oncologist in the US, it became apparent that there was no cure for this condition anywhere in the world.

Vaadu edho purpose kosam vacchaadu. Adi ayipogaane devudu teesukellipoyaadu. We can never understand the reason but I believe strongly that God doesn't play dice. Everything in this universe has a definite purpose and meaning.

Vaadikinka paapaalu chese age raaledu kaabatti he would directly go to God. That is a comforting thought.

He also became the second youngest donor of organs in our state. (The first was Master Shourya - son of the Army Major. Shourya fell off the first floor balcony at the age of 18 months.)

My son made a lasting difference to four people. We are proud of him. In fact it helped us deal with the situation a lot better.

Thanks again.
