Dear Josh,
We thought the end of September was getting difficult. Now that October has started, it is just as hard, and perhaps even harder.
In a couple of weeks, I will be attending Jess’s MBBS graduation. I keep telling myself you wouldn’t have come even if you were physically here. However there’s a small part of me that wonders- would you have come? Afterall, you were, are and always will be her biggest supporter.
So while there is excitement to make the trip yet again to London, there is also the constant heavy fatigue. I want so much for Jess’s graduation not to be tarnished in any way by your passing. Easier said than done.
The exciting thing, as you know, is that Shalini is coming with me! I like to think she is coming as a sister to Jess more than your girlfriend. Nevertheless, we are so blessed she will be there.
Aunty K will again, be there too – our constant supporter. Anta and the boys are also lovingly making the trip down to be with us. Some of Jess’s closest friends who have supported her so much especially since you passed will also be there. As Jess said to me yesterday, it totally sucks you’re not here. But she is blessed to be making a dinner reservation for 9 people.
As always, perhaps what was difficult for you then, is not so difficult now. So I ask that you are with the 3 of us, and especially during the events of the graduation.
Love,
Mum
