A fitting Tribute

I dont know how to start this, this is by far the only piece that has had me searching for words even though I know exactly what I want to write. It has been an emotional roller coaster to put down all that I want to. This post was long due. But it really dint have a pupose or meaning. But now it has, as I know that she has started reading my blog from India!!!

I have known you all my life. You still tell me that the first time you saw me was when I was 3 or 4 years old. Then years later you came into my life again, playing a small part. Years passed and then you played a little more important . But all along, in all my teen subconcious, unassuming,unrealizing, I had began to emulate in you in some ways that I am even surprised of.

Then I left school, and then you " graduated" too to a new position in my life. Now a small but very relevant digression: I read some where that while growing up most kids tend to have a sanctuary in somthing, someone or some place. Its like that they find solace in that place away from turbulence or the monotony of life or peer pressure. I dint think much about it then . But now I know. Your place was my home away from home, that solace, that sanctuary. That place that felt at home yet away from it.

You were ( and are) my inspiration in so many things. I absolutely owe my writing skills to you, and I have no problem in accepting it. There are so many things for which I look up to you too...I really cant list them enough. I cant help but think of all the evenings spent with you. Would give anything to get those times back.

I cant find words again for a lot of stuff. You have been my best critic for everything that I do, my motivator, my sounding board, my shoulder, my pillar of support, my fashion consultant, my friend, philosopher and guide. I dont know what I do with out you.

All said and done, you have provided that stability to my life when I needed it most ( more that what you d ever realize). I am at a loss for words. I cant carry on anymore with this. All I can say is that I admire you for what you are, love you for what you have been to me and cherish our relationship forever....
