While there are many philosophical ways to explain & imbibe a tragedy such as a sister passing on so young, the fact is that it is one of life's most painful moments & must be endured with the same courage that Anita fought cancer.

To me & Suchi, when we saw Anita in January, who we saw was an incredibly fearless person, so calm & composed while staring death in the face. That experience actually led us to believe that this was one battle cancer was not going to win. This did not happen but cancer was not able to break her strength & courage till the end.
We did pray for her after seeing her that day, but prayers are not always answered.
Take care & always remember that you are not alone in this moment of grief,

Cast this in stone! In time to come, this blog will develop into a treasured memoir of the brave young lady who lived 39 yrs as your sister (& as you mentioned was one to all of us).
