We did it!

Dear Pappa,
The day has finally arrived...
I always knew we would make it, but didn't know how.....I trusted didi completely, and knew she would make this work, but there was always a doubt at the back of my mind-what if something goes wrong and what if it's not in our control.
But you helped us through this.
Thank you Pappa for being the most awesome dad in the whole world.If you hadn't trained us the way you did, we wouldn't have had the courage to take such a huge step today.All of us will be together now, just like you wanted it.
I know you are with us.
Love you
Miss you a lot

Don't be negative beta...

Dear Pappa,
It's my 28th Birthday and you are not here with me, last year I was in India at this time and I cut the cake and fed you a piece, it was so so special. I had never realized that would be the last time I would do that. I am trying my best to make it feel like a great day but I will miss you. Mom said that we probably shouldn't be celebrating too much, but I know you would have never wanted it any other way.

Things are changing so fast, and I feel overwhelmed, I feel scared sometimes of the unknown, of what lies in the future for me, I understand your fears now and I feel them too. You taught me to try and get out of the negative spiral, though that wasn't working well for me the past few days, I told myself that I need to live with some dignity and more self-worth, that nothing is wrong with me, or will be wrong with me.

I promised you I would make Megs life great in every way that I can, and I intend to do that. Mom has other wishes which I may not be able to fulfil just yet. I promised you that I would support them in the best way I can. I have a huge battle ahead, a bigger one within. On this birthday, I promised myself to be more optimistic, more focussed, more confident of myself than I ever was.

Moreover, I know you would be looking down upon me and saying 'Don't be negative beta'. It's never all lost - no matter what happens. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. I need to be stronger now that I have ever been in the past.

Here's to making my 28th year the best damn year of my life... I miss you, as always...

Begin with the end in mind....

I had to make a real tough decision yesterday, and all through it, I was all alone.I knew what to expect and I was prepared to face it.I know it came as a shock for a lot of people and they did not like it one bit.Its business after all, emotions dont have any place out here.And I saw that yesterday.
But thanks to you, I had the courage to go through all of that.Yesterday's experience would have hit me real hard, since am so over-sensitive, but it did not.I think I handled it pretty well, considering I was on my own and it was the first time.
I am going to have a lot of 'first times' from now on, and I am going to have to handle all of that by myself.Yes, mum and sis will be there by my side, but its me who is actually going to face it.
You always told us- There will always be ups and downs.....dont be bogged down by little obstacles......dont ever lose focus from your goal.....you will make mistakes, you will learn from experience but dont ever give up.....for everything that you do, begin with the end in mind.......what is it that you want to achieve, and work towards it.....give it all you have.......
And this is one thing thats always at the back of my mind.....maybe thats the reason why I have become so confident and am able to take my own decisions now.....am not the little,timid one now daddy....I've grown up.....and you are gonna see me fulfill all your dreams.....
I love you.....you are the best dad in the whole wide world........
Miss you soooooooooo much.......

She did it!

Dear Pappa,
You know this already, but Meghu did it! She fulfilled the promise she made to you - and helped me keep mine. Mom is extremely happy and proud, I'm sure you are too.
In due time, we will be together like you wanted us to be - making our mark in this world, just like you wanted us to. It hasn't even been six months - but slowly and surely we are getting there. I wish you would be here to see these days with us - if not in body atleast in spirit I know you are, and I don't feel all that bad. Thank you for all the planning that went into this, you had the most amazing foresight I have ever seen in a person, you continue to be my hero.
I love you!

One more step towards my goal....

We did it yet again Pappa....with you as my guardian angel, I shouldn't have doubted it for a minute.....everything went off so smoothly.......
I missed you like I never missed you before.....in that moment I could just picture the happiness and relief on your face......it was an achievement for all of us......it is what you always wanted.....its finally shaping up Pappa......there's no stopping us now.....
Its amazing, the amount of confidence I get just thinking about you and your courage and spirit........it keeps me going.......At every step I just think of how you would have dealt with the situation.....and I try to do that.........and I know it is you who is making things work......you've been guiding us all along........and it doesn't seem any different now.......
With you around, things used to always get done, but now we know how much time and effort goes into it......when mum and I have to do everything on our own, we realise how much trouble you had to go through, while it looked so easy for us.......
You are the best dad in the world Pappa.......there is just no one like you......and there will never be............it is because of you and mum, that didi and I have come so far........and that we can dream big.........it is because you set no limitations for us, that we can achieve things that others only dream of........we are so proud that we are your daughters.......and we will make you proud of us too.............and we'll achieve all that you wanted us to, and much more.........thats a promise!!!
WE LOVE YOU......

Lead us on..

Dear Pappa,

A lot is going on- or not going on. But we will keep fighting, we knew it wasn't going to be easy with you - there is no denying that.

Step-by-step we are working towards our goal. Mom has assumed your role in ways you would never imagine, I couldn't when she told me some of the things she has been working on. It is just amazing. I may have truly under-estimated her strength and resolve.

Meghu and I are two of the luckiest kids in the world.

Love,
Jasu
