Dear Vedant,
My two week trip to India to take care of Amma has been a learning
experience. When I left, I was really sad to leave you and go. Through out the
journey, I would see other kids and ache to see you. I was also worried about
Avva. As soon as I saw her in the ICU though, I knew immediately that I did the
right thing. She needed me, so did Thatha. She was not in good shape at all.
And I think, for the first time, I saw Thatha rattled like that. I don’t know
what it was. Anyhow, I did as much as I could and took care of them both. And
Geethu peddamma came and took over from me.
I am returning, with mixed feelings though. When I was leaving
them to board my plane in India, I felt great pain in leaving them behind and
then the great joy that I know awaits me at home. It is a strange feeling. One
day I will tell you, how I sort of came of age at the fag end of this trip. One
day, you will too. I will be there for you then too, as I am now.
Lots of Love Kanna, see you soon,
Amma
