Eulogy
to my Grand-Mother
Dear Grand-Mother,
It's been almost nine and a half years since you
have passed away,
I was very young that time. However, I distinctly
remember your wide and beautiful smile,
Like the golden sunshine that enlightened our world
with joy and happiness and made all our worries fade away.
You enjoyed talking - talking A LOT ; a beautiful
red rose without any thorns.
You single-handedly raised your children and served
as their ultimate pillar of strength.
My father always remembers you as being a
compassionate individual, who never failed to fill his life with unconditional
love and imbibed him with moral instinctive values that never surpassed any
timely constraint.
He says that you were a woman of a soft temperament,
who strengthened ties within the family
and knitted them close together.
Even though, you indulged in moments of profound
sadness, you never showed any bit of apprehension .
You ultimately complied with all their needs without
a strain of tension on your face.
I honestly wish that I had the opportunity to spend
some more time with you and inherit some remarkable qualities from you.
The strength, passion, willingness and determination
- you showed is what inspires me to aim for success and happiness in life.
I would feel absolutely lucky if I even manage to become
half the person that you are.
Thank you for being there always.
Moments fade away
but rigid memories stay forever.
