Amidst intensest suffering, the only thing that never shook for one minute, is my self-belief, worth, my dignity. And because these things did shake, i never turned out cruel. I turned out extremely loving!

Love begets love! Your progenitors sowed love and that love nurtured you. Despite the odds, continue to see the love your parents sowed in you, how they triumphed through you, in love and how you are replicating that same love everywhere. Our bodies might burn but our legacy in history can never be deleted. Live for your papa, be strong and brave still, fulfill his dreams and wishes, for you are his replica. Hold on to your dignity, your self worth, your self belief, do not let adversity take that from you.
I am happy you had fun at the meet-up. Catch some fun more often please, it does help to keep the heart merry. Take care of you.
