Time Travel

9 years since Dec 16, 2000.

Shez gone and so is her pain. but she left us... with broken hearts.

whatz strange when I think back to the short year she lived after diagnosis is...

the pain was worse... the day the biopsy came back +ve for Ewing's Sarcoma.... than the day she passed.

more gut wrenching it was... to see her bald head the first time, with an iv running up her arm, laid up in a white hospital bed undergoing chemoT... than seeing her fast asleep with a smile on her lips... that last day.

heart breaking it was... to see her cry and cry and cry inconsolably, to leave for the hospital that one last time to never return home... than it was when she was lowered into her final resting place.

if my pain is so palpable now, after 9 long years... what are my sis and bil feeling?
i doubt... they will ever recover.

  4. May her soul rest in peace..

    I lost my sister.. I was a kid then.. But i remember her. She was born mantally retarded. I wanted her to get up from the bed and play with me. I wanted her to go to school with me. I wanted her to snatch my things. But finally one day, I wanted her to die. I couldnt see her suffer more.

    नैनं छिन्दन्ति शस्त्राणि नैनं दहति पावकः।

    न चैनं क्लेदयन्त्यापो न शोषयति मारुतः।|

    Take care. :)

  14. Felt a pang in the heart while reading this.

  15. You really time traveled, didn't you? But some things are better forgotten. Thinking about people who are gone only brings pain.

  17. So very touched. Sorry for your loss.
    Your support will definitely help your sister...

  18. Tragic. Don't know what to say. Death the great leveler leaves a greater impact on a person's heart than any work of man. Doesn't somehow suit the mood to appreciate your writing skills.
