“So..”

I'm sorry that this is a year and a day late...I guess the reason for that is that the house is falling apart.
Sorry about that too, I can't really do much about it but, at least you didn't have to watch that
Everything had great outlooks when you were with us, which I'm glad for.
Remember those Uno games in that gigantic road trip to Arizona? How it was nearly impossible to hold that gigantic deck at every speed bump?
And when I was like...2 and you gave me your pots and pans to play with..and Tara and I made this disgusting mess and pretended to be chefs.
And all those times I pet Pooky after playing with my gum , and Dadai went ballistic, but only after you exploded first :]
Sorry I never really learned bengali, but thank you for being the only one who didn't always yell at me for it
And thanks for never saying "Look how tall you've grown!" or "You're such a pretty girl"
Camun shundor me was always nice though, even if that's selfish to say :]
It was never fake from you, and even when you were tired you cooked an amazing meal, or grew an amazing garden, or played another stretched out game of Uno while watching one of those cheesy movies.
I miss how Abhi's face would light up when he cooked with you, and how mumma would get so tense when she argued and you always won
How dad always nodded with whatever you said even if he liked it or not and how we'd just sigh in exasperation when they argued with each other.
I'm glad you don't have to sigh anymore, and it's selfish to ask, but I'd like one more hug, one more moment where everyone isn't arguing.
Where mom can look forward to calling you and yell at the top of her lungs because of the stupid reception of our long distance calls.
Here's the picture I drew you, wish I had drawn you something earlier but what's done is done
Here's to hoping you can see it.

We weren't really that close but, it was closer than most of the other relatives
I still remember your voice so well , and it's a comforting cheery one :]
