swasti, swasti...when our hearts are breaking at the sad plight of AR, when poor R is so selflessly making such sacrifices for A, and our heart reaches out to her in her pain...thank you, thank you for writing this wonderful wonderful piece which is an eye-opener to the less apparent and the more substantial in dmg. when substance, sense and sensibility are vying with each to surge ahead in their race with each other for first access to the nearest egress....nay, when they have actually managed to stealthily die an animated death...u regale us in our hour of despair and desolation by such stupendous insight, foresight, imagination and sensitivity, htat i am left speechless and stopped in my tracks except for doing just one thing....... 😭
oh thank you for giving me strength to go through this difficult period in AR's life and this inordinately long weekend. thank you for helping me to steel myself against seeing my beloved face being caressed by a stranger other than R (cant bear the thought!)even though R herself has permitted this billi to do so. the sullying touch will have to be borne with dignity and pride, and even a wicked smile a la R/....
thank you , my czarina...for htis wonderful post... 😭
