My best man :)

It has been tough...difficult..to say the least. He was the last person I thought would be so unwell. Being used to his independent and stubborn ways, it was a little tough to see him like this. But then, guess it was my turn to be independent and strong. Maybe it was one of his ways to teach me how to fend for myself. Like he did...when he taught me how to tie my shoelace (it was sheer magic). One end of the lace went inside the loop...and taa daa..his deft fingers had done the trick. Or when he showed me the right way to put on my school socks.


I never realised how much one can love somebody. And well, that is the strangest fact of life. However we think we know, we are always proved wrong. I thought I knew how much I cared. But now I know how little I knew. I realised I could give up on everything. For just him. For the most important man in my life. And while I sit writing this blog, or while am at work...or simply watching a movie with friends with a bucket of popcorn in hand...I try to give in my best. I try living each moment. Like the way he taught me to. Now I realise how precious each second is.
