Dear friends, whoever is reading this, I have a sad message to deliver to you.
This is Mai Harinder Kaur, not Lily writing.
My dearest friend, closer than a sister, died last autumn, after a brief illness.
Her passing was as quiet and peaceful - and fearless - as her life, with her husband holding her right hand and me holding her left and her children gathered around her. . Her last words to us were, "I hope you two wild and beloved people will finally learn to make your peace." Then she smiled at us, closed her eyes and murmured, "Ah, yes."
She left us thus.
I have not written about her death in any of my blogs or on my web page, nor has her husband, Raj. I am not yet ready to talk about this loss.
I still am not up to writing about her; that will have to wait. I just feel the time has come to inform those who read here.
She is much missed.
