Farewell to a beautiful young lady


Yesterday was the funeral of our dear friend "Someshni."
I went through waves of emotion prior to the funeral and I was so grateful to have lunch with Adhil just before heading to the funeral as this kept my emotions at bay. The small intimate funeral was a beautiful send off and I felt there was this magic in the air despite it being a difficult time for all emotionally. Nersan (Someshni's husband) managed to stand up and say a few words as this was Someshni's wish and the courage and the strength he had was truly amazing. He said in his speech that he learnt so much about strength from her in these past few months and I think we all sat there agreeing that Someshni soldiered on despite her pain and was strong in her being for those around her. Someshni has come to rest at a very young age and I am absolutely thankful that our journeys crossed and we got to share some of lifes experiences together.
