Dear didi!














A smile so radiant,
A spirit so vibrant.
An understanding and patient soul,
You'd always empathise
And treat my worries as your own.
I've learnt so much from you
While you were in this world,
and now that you have moved beyond.
Today, on your birthday,
As I miss your presence,
And reminisce about 
All the fun-filled times -
Those walks, shopping trips, eat-outs,
Our little adventures,
Attending concerts and plays;
I know that you are looking
down from the skies,
Encouragingly, in the most gentle way,
Prodding me to be strong
Goading me to keep moving on...

Today is the day we had hoped to celebrate together...
Today is the day you were supposed to have been hail and hearty and better...
So many plans left unfulfilled:
That puppy we were supposed to co-parent;
To resume our ritual of the weekly grocery shopping;
To drive around and just have a good time!
This place will never be the same again,
Your fond memories shall always linger....
