Today is my sister's birthday; she would have been a year older
and many years wiser. She was my older sister; I say was as she passed away
about 17 years ago. There was a void that she left behind as she was also my
friend.
Sisters can be best friends, and we were. Today looking back at
the years we spent together, there are so many moments with sunshine and
laughter. Bicycle rides to school, then to friends houses, the annoyed face of
my sister when being told by my mum " take her (pointing at me) with you." When
I moved away from home to do my post graduation and then continue working in
another city, she was my constant source of reassurance and reality.
Always there to support me and a shoulder to cry on the perils of
living away from home on a budget and trying to constantly make ends meet.
In her short life she touched many lives and is still remembered, sometimes it
is true that the best ones have a really short time on this planet. They walk amongst
us as memories, every time I see a resident doctor at a hospital at any part of
the world she is the 1st thing that comes to mind.
Every night looking at the sky I think, oh thereshe is
watching everything. Dr Yasmin Thakur-Dave, what a pleasure it was to be a part of your existence.
You will always be in our thoughts.
Manj am shocked & feel terrible at the same time cause I call myself ur friend. It's so sad & shocking to learn about Yasmin , I always remembered how fondly u often spoke about her when she was still at medical college at Jamnagar, I guess a lot of life just passed by all the yrs we were not in tuch , really sorry for ur loss , take care dear,

DeleteThe fact is we were friends and still are. Life always has twists and turns, it makes you stronger and who you are today... Yasmin will always be with me and I take solace in that.
