Dad. I finally found someone who is as strong and sturdy as you. I am ready to move on. I am ready to forgive myself and get rid of any guilt I possessed. Thank you for this amazing life you gave me so that I could share it with Shahid. Never have I dealt with anything more difficult than my own soul. I'll never be that me again. But I like this new me.

The next day, I woke up feeling a lot more. I have been laughing a lot now. I have been spending a lot of time with Ma too. I asked her to come with me and Shahid but she was adamant about not leaving this house. This house was her memory safe place.

Dad, you gave me the greatest gift of all, you believed in me. And today, when I look at Shahid and the belief he has in me, I smile ear to ear. My forever was falling but he catches it, promising me to safeguard it with his life.

With a heavy heart, I conclude this chapter of my life with the greatest closure. I promise my unconditional love to you.

Love,

Kanak.
