My goodbye...
I was awakened by the phone at 4am this morning. My dad had arrived safely. I haven’t slept since. I can’t stop thinking about her. When I was much younger we went to her house every Friday. I always crept into her kitchen where she quietly washed the dishes, or prepared something for her guests. She knew what I was after and with a sweet smile on her face she would bring me goodies to tantalise my taste buds. It was either sweets to share with the other grandchildren or my favourite ‘Aloo torsh’. Her house was the meeting place for the whole family. We had so many memories in that old house. Oh, how she suffered during the past few weeks. Her temperature was high and she lay on her bed frail and weak. She constantly whispered to those around her that she wanted to go “home”. She finally went to her “home” yesterday afternoon. May god bless her soul and may she rest in peace.

A view from above
After hours of queuing and enduring the cold this is the breathtaking view we witnessed.
