Appa's 41st Death Anniversary

It's our Appa's/ Grandpa's- 41st death Anniversary today 2nd Nov. 2024. Remembering Appa fondly and am forever grateful to him for teaching me compassion and empathy by his own example and for being my role model in faith and humility and hard work. 

 He provided us with the best education possible by putting us to the best schools and giving us his best attention. Younger bro Sidney was rather sickly when a toddler and he went to great lengths to get him the best medical care. Later on even the best schools to ensure he had a normal life...

 Unfortunately Appa died at 53. It was 1983 July when he suffered the biggest blow..someone destroyed his livelihood overnight. 

 Racism upset him but he fought back by ensuring he got his biz right back on track before he passd. He didnt show favouritism and was a person who had a lot of compassion for the powerless and needy. 

 He helped his family of 5 brothers and 1 sis back in India and also my Mum 's family members in many ways, especially when they were migrating back to India. Everyone stayed in our house prior to migration. Or when one lost their jobs.....he never hesitated to help someone. 

 He has left us a unwritten legacy but that which is written in our hearts. Forever grateful to God for him....and I miss him loads..he died far too young! He didn't see me getting married , or his grandchildren! 

I hope he is able to bless me from above even as I stand on the horizon of a new relationship. I know he is proud of me and what I've achieved.
