Memories

Nineteen.

Ambika Menon Sep 27, 2012

19, Ak.
You should be here.
I miss you so you much more than I can explain.

Still missing you

Josh May 07, 2012

I found out today that Facebook deleted your profile, which made me want to find some way to keep talking to you. I think that might be life's way of telling me to move on, especially since it's been almost 4 years since one of the saddest days of my life, the day you died. But the memories I had with you, though not profound, make it impossible for me to ever move on. We never had any deep bonding moments, but even just talking to you and making jokes, & the laughs and smiles that you gave everyone around you were moments that I will cherish forever. I can't say I remember the exact details of our conversations, but I remember always that whenever I was talking to you, I felt happier and always left with a smile and/or walked away still laughing thinking about something you said. I keep convincing myself that I have moved on, but now the smiles and laughs that came whenever I was hanging out with you are combined with the sadness that is knowing that I can't have more of those moments with you. I will miss you forever buddy, Rest in Peace.

Akshay lives on in us for ever

Arjun Mar 16, 2012

It doesn't end with an abrupt twist of fate.
Even it does invoke a feeling of resentment and hate.
As much as we want Life to be a series in a picture perfect spate
It does bring in severe moments of bate
But, it is never too late..
Just look up and think hard as life were a clean slate.
And, you realize that nothing never really ends
Despite all its twirls and bends..We can still make amends,
There is hope and comfort in family and friends,
Life always is meaningful and beautiful,
In the presence and memories of our loved ones
”For the lack of purpose or want of a meaning,
Don’t ever Sigh..Fight, Even if you don’t know for who or why,
We live not just in our selves, but in the realm of the souls,
And souls live on..Even if it is far and high
Often, it’s not just for you that you are fighting”.

It's you and me always, Ak.

Ambika Menon Jan 09, 2012

Hey, you.
I hope, wherever you are, that you're proud of me. I want that with all my heart. But, i need your help every once in a while. Be there for me, please?
You were the best thing in the world, Ak. And you made my childhood, and I wouldn't have wanted my life to be any different than what it is today. I'm so lucky to have been your sister.
You made us the family we were meant to be.
I love you always, Ak. Never forget that.
Missing you more and more everyday.
My solace is knowing that wherever you are, you're at peace.
