Dear Neena,

“A smile I don’t find anywhere.”

I can so relate to that as I recall my daughter Laura’s brilliant smile.

Utkarsh’s smile radiates compassion, sincerity, and love.

I love what you’ve been doing to honor your son and the scholarship that you gave to this wonderful young student who wants to change the world and help those in need. She had a profound loss of her father, so it’s very fitting that she carries the torch forward -of love, empathy, and compassion.

I’m so glad that you celebrated your son today. I bid a happy heavenly birthday to Utkarsh. Thanks for sharing about him. It helps me to get to know your son a bit. we’ve never met each other’s eternal children-we are getting to know them through each other’s writing.

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful post and sharing your other son’s picture with the cake. Great to see him. Glad you have this blessing in your life.

As always I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved son and your deep pain, but I am happy for his eternal presence and for what his smile has meant for you.

I love your poem. It made me sad and happy at the same time.

Be well, my friend. Susan

Happy Birthday to dear Utkarsh. I realise he has become a metaphor in my mind-- his very existence a continuing legacy of goodness. I am glad and grateful I get to meet you Utkarsh amongst your mumma's words and thoughts.

Utkarsh a metaphor … what more love can one ask for or find. Many thanks dear Bhavana for your pure love & kind support. Ever grateful 🙏

By the way I call Utkarsh- My Anchor

And that metaphor of symbolism says it all ♥️
