What a sad tale you tell here. It is very poignant. Where is Dewali? Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

Oh dear........this hurts my heart. I do understand that same feeling too well, my mother dying at such a young age, and during my impressionable years. I still feel that wrenching sadness. Well said in this poem, Kash. it hurts to know you have experienced this.

Very heartwarming Kash....congratulations
