he died too. today, early morning.
we were all praying for the end, anything to stop the pain. to see a man decay as cancerous cells were eating him from within will teach one her insignificance when it comes to life's larger scheme like no other.
incidently, valiappappa was the second of the two who had blessed me and him. i had sought blessings for both of us only from these two men, both larger than life in their own way with a powerful aura around them. the first, u's father was almost a monk himself. strangely, cancer ate him up too. he moved on to a better after life, i hope. now, valiappappa has made his peace too.
valiappappa and u's father, will they meet him up there? will they recognise each other? do all souls look alike? will the three laugh out aloud together, each one's laughter ringing differently? will he get a yellow bike to ride around? is there an alternate reality? do i wish it to be?
