The ‘Rock’ at the centre of our family life has gone

Hiran De Alwis Seneviratne

Thaaththi, it is three months since you left us. You have left a void in our lives. Life has not been the same for us since. Our home is so very dull without you. I remember the times we spent together, talking for hours on end.

I will not forget your sound advice. When all was gone from me, you gave me the courage to go on. I held on to your words when I felt totally abandoned and alone. In those times, you propped me up with your reassuring words.

Thank you for giving me the strength to live through the difficult times and for being there for me in my most vulnerable moments. I will remember this with deep gratitude.

Your five girls, Ammi included, looked up to you for guidance. You were our Rock, and our Rock is no more. We loved you dearly in life, and we will not forget you in death. The chain that is broken on Earth will be linked up again in Heaven.

So may God be with you, till we meet again.

May you rest in peace.

Your loving daughter, Roshi
