As I write this, our dearest friend Alfred De Souza is making his last
journey along one of the all too familiar pathways that he often used to
tread during his regular Exercise Walks or Jogs.
This is a different journey and I am sure he is being accompanied by
countless of his near and dear friends besides family members, first to pay
his last respects to our Mae de Deus and then finally to his permanent
resting place.
ALFRED, Goodbye Old Friend ! Rest is eternal heavenly peace. We are all
going to miss your presence so much.
We hope to meet up in the clouds....... in the heavens some day.
Yes, indeed a strong pillar has suddenly come crashing down and our whole
village has felt its rumblings. The wake of the shock waves is still being
felt far and wide.
Personally speaking, henceforth, during my vacations I wont have the good
company of my closest and dearest friend anymore. And also during the
occasional jogs I used to keep up with him. Then sometimes after this, the
chats at the 'Dilkush-Sheraton' Chai shop as we used to call it and later
on for the the 'Bha-jis' at the beach.
Memories, Nostalgia......they all keep replaying again and again in my
inner mind and dont seem to stop.
Miss you Old Friend....
I join my hands and with everyone else pray for his departed soul. Much
more than all our sympathy and moral support our prayers are what will make
his soul happy most.
