love and compassion...

Dearest Anita Didi,

You are truly the most graceful person I have met! I cannot imagine all your challenges but know you have been able to get through everything because of your incredible capacity for love. You are a most generous and compassionate soul and it is such an absolute joy to be around you.

From the first time we met in Hyderabad, I knew how blessed I was to have gained such a wonderful sister! In fact, I remember calling my Mom and immediately telling her how much I liked you! You truly treat your guests like God- with so much love and compassion.

I have never met anyone who can giggle about pop culture in one breath and speak seriously about spirituality in another- what a great gift!

I will always admire your intense devotion to God, your family, and especially to your children. Not only are you the ideal daughter but also daughter in law, wife, and mother. I will never forget the great advice you gave me as I entered married life and watching your wonderful example as you played your roles so perfectly.

We love you so much and have been praying every day with little Jeevan for your peace.

I feel so blessed to have the chance to know you. I miss you so much already, but will keep you in our hearts and treasure you always.

With all our love.
Arun, Sujoya, and Jeevan
