Month Fifteen: Remembering Sean

Charlene (who I visited in London last year) and Sean used to work for sister companies in Dubai. We also happened to live in the same neighborhood and used to hang out together often. Charlene wrote this on Sean’s one year anniversary, but I didn’t have a chance to post it until now. Here’s what she had … Continue reading »

All Souls Day

Tomorrow, November 2 is Sean’s first All Souls Day. Not a first  I want to be writing about, but, here we are. This annual event has always been a special one in my family. Growing up in Bombay my parents, sister and I always attended mass and then visited the cemetery where my grandparents and other dearly … Continue reading »

Month Fourteen

And the clock keeps ticking… It’s weird to think three years ago I had just moved to Toronto and was waiting for Sean to join me here. It was all about our new home, new life and bright future. Now it’s me solo, Sean doing whatever he does on the other side and fond (but … Continue reading »

Well, okay. That’s how I rationalized it to myself. So I bought myself a pair of Doc Marten boots, as I’ve coveted them … Continue reading »

Sweet endings

If you read my previous post, you would have figured my Bombay trip was a pretty bittersweet one with Sean’s birthday and first anniversary. Coming back to Toronto kind of put me in a funk where not much cooking (or any other activity) for that matter was being done as I tried to come to … Continue reading »

Month Thirteen

The one way I stay connected with Sean in my mind is by listening to the songs he loaded on my iPod. On milestone days and anniversaries like this I tend to play the same tunes over and over again. If you’ve seen me by his resting place, you’re probably wondering what the heck I’m … Continue reading »

Remembering Sean: Norisca’s memories

Norisca is one of my BFFs who I have known since I was around 12 years in middle school. She was a major support system to us when Sean first started his medical journey, helping with cooking and checking on Sean when I couldn’t get through to him on the phone. We were a pure … Continue reading »
