Last breath......Never!!

Is it that our loved ones cease to exist after their last breath?? No...I do not mean life after death, afterlives or re-incarnation! But, I intend to express that our people still stay alive in our thoughts, actions and reactions.
They keep on living in the values that they have ingrained in us, particularly those of which they have practiced rather than preached. These principles illustrate in our conduct and gestures, every once in a while. They are alive in the way we behave and thus, they are judged by our demeanor. You think twice before being rude, if your deceased father was always polite. So, let our behavior demonstrate the positive aspects of our deceased family members.

They are existent and active in our minds and hearts. Whenever we stand at a crossroad or badly miss their advice and presence, their invisible guidance leaves a cue for us to ponder over or open up a new ray of hope. After all, they have been our well-wishers and can't bear to see our lives in chaos. So, let us not write off the lost ones as dead or hate them for abandoning us. 

We find their presence in our children in their little forms. I am not kidding!! I can find my father in my son's posture, way of thinking, eating, sitting, drawing logical conclusions, being inquisitive, the way he crosses his legs while standing, so on. So, our dear ones haven't been far away from us. They can't stay without us. Death can't do us apart, literally!! 

Our approach towards our life, outlook towards others and children are the ways to pay respect and show our gratitude to the loved ones that we lost.
