My Dear Rishi,
It has been sometime since I wrote. As the year ends, I take some time to reflect the year 2012. It has been a year of personal loss and also a year of personal transformation. Today, as I write these words I am grateful for where I am in spite of many changes. This is the year I have made strides in letting go and just be. I have realized, it matters how we live rest of the life and cherish what we have. I want to end this year with one of the poems which has touched me recently in a quite palpable way.

Tomorrow's Yesterday
By Linda Ellis
We rue the passing of each yesterday
because it is, forever gone
and take for granted that we'll live to see
another break of dawn.
Time eagerly moves forward;
though we may plead, it never lingers.
Intangible yet, we feel its presence
as it slips right through our fingers.
It progresses callously onward
like an illness with no cure,
while we anticipate tomorrow
as if it was ours, for sure.
Precious seconds tick in rhythm
as we walk...and laugh...and sleep,
accumulating into minutes
that we can use, but never keep.
Today is here, but only once,
a blessing...merely ours to borrow,
for it will soon turn into yesterday...
just as it is was once, tomorrow.
Minutes to hours, hours to days,
no secret or mystery....
our "now" in turn, becomes our "then"
...a part of life's history.
Live for today...live for your "now"\
make memories that will last;
paint bold colors of your present
to the canvas of your past.
Don't postpone your hopes and dreams
by saying ....I'll be happy when....."
Seize the seconds that are passing by
for you can't get them back again!
Learn to savor these 24 hours
without one minute of delay,
because too soon they will forever be....
tomorrow's yesterday.
Rishi, I love you each day more and more although the distance between becomes wider and wider, as you said, "Daddy, when you are alone remember, I am in your heart and you are in my heart". Truly wised words Rishi...I love you more each second, minute, hour, days, months and years......
Wish you a Happy New Year son.....hope, pray and wish you the very best for 2013. Whatever is best for you should always happen...love ! I miss you ...
With lots of love, hugs and kisses....
Daddy
