A Tribute to our very special Achi Gummo

Life will never be the same without you
In functions, in barbeques, in picnics

No more, will we ever get to indulge in your food,

No more, will we hear your laughter,

No more, will we get chided by you as we tickle you..

Nothing seemed impossible, with you around
From the odd hours for thaipusam and theemithi, to the fun zoo and orchard trips, to long distances to Larkin or Ayer Hitam..

You took care of us like our mother and pampered us like our father
You seemed to us like the best of both worlds
Given a pet name you accepted whole-heartedly, who can ever replace you our dearest Achi Gummo..

This day, Namma family loses a special member
the very essence of our family spirit, right from the kampong days
A bubbly person, full of cheerfulness and lots of love for us all..

And now as you leave us, in all our hearts, a piercing pain
Sadness overwhelms,
leaving tears behind, as your lifestory unfolds
A great life you have lived, a truly wonderful woman you have been..

And now, as you become one with God,

We pray that your soul rests in peace.

Don’t worry about us all, we will definitely make our family proud.

We love you..

~ on behalf of Namma Family

What is home without a mother?

All things I can get in this world,

But when I realise the loss,

I lost my dearest fiesty friend

-Saras (aka Papa)

My dear Perimma,

As I recall my childhood, you were almost every part of it..

Your arms cuddled me, when I was younger..
Your hands held me, taking me along everywhere you went..

You sheltered me during my school holidays..

You brought me to queue for NDP tickets..
You stood by me, when I was teased a blackie..
You supported me, when my grandmothers scolded me..
You believed in me, and I always followed you..

As I grew older, you were always there to encourage me

You were proud of me..

You prepared special weekend breakfast for me..
You spoke so highly of me to your colleagues as we met in NTU..
You were the first person I came riding to when I had just gotten my new bike..
You were also the first person I told that I was going to pursue my Masters overseas..

Because all along I knew, you will always be there for me, with words of encouragement for me, be truly happy for me..

Now that I know I cant see you anymore, I search for your photo, to see your face, once again..
To see the face that always glowed with so much of joy and cheerfulness..

Recollecting the last few words you spoke to me, it will constantly ring in my ears..

Noone can ever replace you..

A very special place in my heart, you will always reside in..
I miss you, so so badly..
I love you perimma..

அன்புடன் ,
