Remembering Our Grandfather

Anika Raina

Dear Dadu (Mr Rattan Lal Raina),

Although you may be gone, your memory remains alive in the hearts of your loved ones. I firmly believe that you continue to be with us, as people like you who have touched so many lives and left a lasting impact do not simply fade away.

I will always cherish the memories of your wisdom, kindness, and the special bond we shared. I remember the way you played with me, surprised me with gifts, and loved me unconditionally. Your life was a testament to resilience and courage, and you will forever be an inspiration to me.

As I reflect on your journey, I am reminded of the challenges you faced and the bravery with which you battled your illness. Your gradual decline was difficult to witness, and I felt helpless as I watched you suffer. However, I take comfort in knowing that you are now free from pain and at peace.

Your legacy lives on through me, and I aspire to make you proud by pursuing a career in medicine. I hope to honour your memory by spreading love, kindness, and compassion. You will always be loved and remembered by so many, and I pray that you continue to watch over us.

Rest in peace, dear Dadu. You will be deeply missed.

Your loving granddaughter,

Anika Raina
