Diwali isn’t just about cleaning "up homes and lighting diyas. It is also a time to dust off sorrow and allow the light of those who have loved us guide us away from despair." I read this now, the day after Diwali, thankful for the family I spent it with, but deeply mourning the ones who weren't with me. It hasn't stopped my crying yet, but I'll get there. Thank you, Natasha
How I wish that others would follow your family's example and learn to celebrate all festivals together without rancour. Please spread the LOVE with your stories!
