Everything I have read about your emotions and grief are exactly what I have experienced and I just wanted to thank you for inspiring me with your warmth that comes though in the words you use and your obvious lust and love for life. I hope I will feel such positivity in the future like you do, once the healing process sets in and I can learn to live without my beautiful Dads presence in my life. Many Thanks Steph Dear Arvind

I am very struck by the photo of him - it speaks of someone who is open and honest, who has a sense of humour and a strong determination. What a very beautiful face. How you and your family must miss him. I think its a great idea to honour your father with this blog. I wish you courage and love and support to you and your family in the coming years, til the pain subsides and you can remember without the pain of loss. I personally believe those who have passed are always with us anyway - so I am sure he is very proud! love Hilary Dear Arvind, I have only just today seen your newsletter and that you lost your father some weeks ago.

It really is amazing just how much compassion people are able to show at such times. Now if only we could be like this at all times. (I have just read your great piece "Trying To Be More Compassionate" at http://marcomblog.web-log.nl/ - thank you) I wish you all the best for 2008 – may all your projects reach even greater heights this year. Love and gratitude. Arvind Dear Ellen
