Missing thatha

Munchkin and me are leaving for India in two days time.I have been waiting for this day ever since I booked the tickets.Or is it ever since i got the idea of going to India?I think I anticipate this visit right from when I leave India..as to when I will return back.There would be a major void when I go home this time.I will miss thatha(grandfather).I am trying to remember the last conversation I had with him but I am drawing a blank.I am trying real hard but I cannot because I never knew that it would be the last.I try to remember the feel of him as I hugged him good bye the last time I was in madras and I cannot because I never knew that it would it would be the last time I felt his loving hands embrace me.
But I have the memories..memories of walking beside him to the busstand,of singing bhajans on Sri RamNavami’s,of drinking afternoon tea and talking about the days happenings..lots of good memories and I am thankful for that.
