Lucy by Suman / Dada

Dear Lucy,

Thanks for being such a wonderful friend since the last the 17 years…thanks for being such a wonderful family member….thanks for loving me so much…thanks for taking care of mom for all these years when I had been away from her because of my selfish reasons…sorry that I could not bid you good bye when you were setting
off for the Rainbow Bridge…

Missing you very much honey….if there is a at all a next life please be there for me again…as I will miss
you very much till then…
May be now I can take the chicken livers without hiding from you…I can play my guitar without the someone, who would often come over to me to lick my face in between the pieces…without someone who would do anything just to let me know how much she loved me…Now I can play my mouth organ which I had to stop playing only because you used to start screaming the moment I used to blow the notes…I can sit with mom now without you coming between us..

But still I will miss you in the days to come…specially during winter dawns when you were there to wake me up…during my music sessions when you were my only audience…during the diwali time or during thunders when you would just refuse to go anywhere else from my lap….No one is now there to be my support when mom would scold me…No one would be there to stop or bark at her
if she beats me up…
Thanks for keeping all our secrets from mom and dad…do not worry about mom…myself and Lali will take care of her…you stay happily with other friends of yours there…don’t fight with them and take your food properly as you would not get mom there to feed you three times a day…Eat whatever you are given there…Not everyone is your mom, that they will spend hours with the dish and the spoon just to put some food in your mouth…

Love you dear…wait for me at the rainbow bridge…I promise to bring some fried fishes and sweets for you the next time when we meet again…Don’t worry…I will bring my guitar along with me and we will have some great music too…You wont miss the notes as you had been missing the last five years…but please dear, never ever think of forgetting me…just remember I love you with all my heart…
