Weekend Wrap Up - Wk 2

I’ll call this weekend – Cherishing life… Thursday evening, we had a fabulous get together, celebrating my friend, Unni’s 40th Birthday. It was lovely to be among friends… simply chatting, arguing, singing, laughing …. We’ve known each other for 15 years and I truly appreciate their love!! Thank you Sai, Sunil, Vivian & Unni & their families for being a part of our lives. Friday morning… Amit’s ‘bestest’ friend since grade 3 – Nigel died in Sydney. I say ‘bestest’ because Amit & Nige have been together since grade 3, then they went to college, University and even lived together when they started work. Nigel always said, he will live wherever Amit lives… however destiny took him to Sydney before us. Amit and Nige were soul mates.

Crystal (Nige’s) wife and I had a joke going – that if Amit wasn’t married to me… he would surely be married to Nigel. They were so so close. They’d do anything for each other and the world wouldn’t matter. Some time in college for about 3 years, they met each other every single evening… sitting with a beer and talking about the days happenings.

On Friday, Amit lost a part of him… He was totally shattered, shocked, devastated!! I don’t have the right words. Nigel meant a lot to both of us, for sure… but to Amit.. Nigel was his world!! There isn’t a single day that we don’t talk about what they did as kids.. I’ve heard so many stories… from both of them!! Amit hates chocolates.. and as a kid… he would always save his chocolates for Nigel. At our wedding, Nigel being the best man, whispered in my ear, “Patty, since you’ve come into Amit’s life, he doesn’t share his chocolates with me anymore” And we both laughed and then hugged.

I know Nigel will always remain in our hearts and his soul will always be close to Amit. Do say a little prayer for Mrs. Faye (Nige’s mom), Crystal, Amit & all their friends!! And life at its strangest, we celebrated another very close friend – Sunil’s birthday on Saturday. So tell me what did you do this weekend?? How did you celebrate life & love!!
