Dear Adi,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been two months since you left us. Life hasn\u2019t been the same without you. The three of us go about our days, doing what we need to\u2014but you\u2019re always in our thoughts, every single moment. There’s a constant emptiness, a void that can’t be filled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I step out of the house every day, not because I need to work outside, but because staying home is too painful. The days I stay back are the hardest\u2014the tears don\u2019t stop, and the ache in my heart feels unbearable. Your slippers still sit by the door, as if you\u2019ve just gone to school and will be back soon. Then reality hits like a wave\u2014you\u2019re not coming back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your plates, tumblers, toys, clothes, your favourite music, the cricket matches on TV… every little thing is a stark reminder of the loss we carry. I haven\u2019t yet found the courage to sleep on the bed you once did. We haven’t been able to listen to the music you loved, watch the show you loved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

People tell me to let go, to stop remembering\u2014but how? How do I forget when a part of me is gone? You <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mamba and Deta miss you dearly. Mamba still forgets sometimes and runs to check on you during a thunderstorm. She has been unable to study in her room because everything in there reminds her of you. Deta keeps asking you to go to sleep at night. The three of us miss you so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t know if life will ever feel \u201cnormal\u201d again. Every day, I\u2019m reminded that our family of four is now only three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Adi, even in our grief, we are so grateful that you came into our lives. You gave us so much love, so much joy. You made us better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know you\u2019ll always be with us as our guiding star, our angel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Mamma loves you so much<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been two months since Adi left us, and every corner of our home still whispers his name. His slippers by the door, his toys on the shelf, his empty plate \u2014 they all remind us of the love we lost. The pain hasn\u2019t eased, nor has the heartache faded. But amidst the sorrow, there\u2019s gratitude \u2014 for the gift of Adi, and the light he brought into our lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26,27],"tags":[4,10,9,8],"class_list":["post-73","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-letters-to-adi","category-my-journey","tag-child-loss","tag-coping-mechanisms","tag-grief-journaling","tag-healing-journey","entry entry-center"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dearadi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dearadi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dearadi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dearadi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dearadi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=73"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dearadi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":74,"href":"https:\/\/dearadi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73\/revisions\/74"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dearadi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=73"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dearadi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=73"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dearadi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=73"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
