My father in law passed away today… My operation stitches are coming out on Monday, and I am off to their place immediately after that. Till then, I can only sit here with my thoughts and prayers – for the rest of the family… See you all here when I get back, after the new year.
I want to leave you with this remarkable story – Mishap victim gifts life to 3. The 21 year old boy who had met with an accident was declared brain dead on arrival at the hospital. And his parents, in all their grief donated his organs to others, giving them the gift of life. The ToI reports that they sum up their deed thus – The lives of great men all remind us/That we can make our lives sublime/And departing leave behind/footprints on the sands of time.
Tough decisions, brave decisions…
Reminder for me and you to pledge our eyes/organs… Have only been thinking about it so far; good intentions, no action.. maybe a good way to begin the new year…?
Charu,
My heartfelt condolences. May his soul rest in peace.

Thanks for your wishes… I have just got back to Bombay and my husband is still in kakinada with my mother in law… things have just been spiralling out of control…
Neela, funnily enough, these past few weeks, I have been reading and writing more than I ever did… maybe the efect of being alone at home and unable to walk… my blog has been my only source of contact with the outside world, and all this reading and writing is what has kept me sane!
