Knowing that you both are not with me, it breaks my heart."
"Amma, you have made a brave child, taught me to be as practical as I can in every situation... the trait is obviously passed on by you. You are the most beautiful, happy, selfless person I ever knew.
"Akka, I know I was your most favourite person. You are a fighter, has inspired me to never let go till the last minute.
"You were those two people who found joy in everything I did, everything I said. I always had a very big ego that I have two mothers but guess ego is never too good for anyone.
"The last few days I spent with you both were so relaxing and we were also happy... never imagine(d) that would be our last."
