    You are a wonderful young man, dude. I’m sure you made your mother the proudest woman on Earth. Just smile and remember the good times, and know nothing is ever at end.

    On Mother’s Day, I usually take a moment out to think of my friends and family who are without their mothers-it makes me appreciate my own more. You were in my thoughts yesterday, and this is a beautiful montage of your life with your mom. It looks like she had an interesting life full of joy. I’m trying to avoid cliches here, but I do have to say this-it looks like your parents came to America to find opportunity for their family, and I’m sure their son going to medical school made your mother very proud. You’re a great guy, and I’m sure you made your mother very, very happy.

    I have watched you and Anupama grow into wonderful people that have made your parents proud. I know this loss is great for you, as it is to many of us, but your mom is always with you. She will guide through your life. Remember all you had together and know that she expects all of you to be happy and keep working hard toward the goals you all have set for yourselves.
    Your tribute to her is beautiful. Love you lots.
