Divya Solgama .. our deepest condolences for your Father .. a sudden and unexpected departure at age 68 !! We are with you in prayer ..
The relevance of a family has been spoken about in the most expressive and loving manner in the past, but it has been a huge revelation for me to read what most of the Ef had to say about it ! I feel proud of the fact that the identification of this association, one that has lasted for so many years now, has been instrumental in bringing individuals from across the globe, to one common ground, or if I may call it, a home. This home is the home that finds mention and importance in all that we have been dwelling on for the past few days …
I respect the personal relationships that each one of you have and have had with family. That is sacrosanct. I am also most humbled and honoured that many of you were in condition to share your opinions and its effects on you, so openly and frankly. This is generally not accepted in most communities - that there is freedom to talk and discuss inner feelings, connections and emotions with a general audience, is yes, unusual, for often such topics should remain within the walls of your own personal homes. But I must admit that I never expected the frankness with which this issue was addressed and brought out .. I can only give my warmth of affection to all that did and hope that it did not cause undue discomfort to any ..
It is time to make this a short missive .. I have a very early call tomorrow, and most of the ‘early’ already reflects in the time in the corner of the screen ..
I hope to make up for it tomorrow and till the you all have my love and affection as ever …
