August 10,2005 . I woke up with a shocking news.My Grandmother passed away at her home town. A rude reality to believe. It hurts even more that am at a distant land,and am left all alone to handle the grief by myself. I was told that she was fine, playing with her grandsons(My little cousins) till 6 PM IST ,but by 7 pm she was gone..Acute myocardial infarction took her life. She lived her life till 85 years of age.
She got married at an early age, lost her husband within years of marriage (my Mom was 10 years old when her father passed away),yet she raised her 5 children single handed,educated them and got them settled in life.
I should share my recent memories of my paati.I still remember the day how happy she was when i handed over my first salary to her and got her a saree. She finds pride in telling everyone that i did the hearing evaluation for her and prescribed a hearing aid,and my brother is her "family doctor". Even during my recent trip to India, she prepared my favorite dishes and fed me.She prepared sambar podi for me,and i still have that pack labelled "paati sambar podi".
Let me end here before i breakdown again. All i could do is just pray for her.
May her soul rest in peace.

my g'mom passed away a few months before yours.. and i could so clearly identify with all that you felt. the worst moments however are those tiny things which will remind you of her. That's when the pain will hit and make you miss her more or as you already do.

Jus got attracted by the title of this post and reached this blog .. sad to hear abt ur Paatti :-(((... enngammavoda ammavum madurai lerndhu thaan (tho native is nto madurai) ... so to avoid confusions with other paatis we call her 'Madurai Patti' ... she too reacted the same way i got her ring from my salary ... she is still saying to every one thts it given by her ponnu vaythu pethi :-)) .. I have hrd frm so many of my frnds abt they suffering by having a paatti at home ... but guess we r lucky as we have gr8 paattis.
