Losing her husband in the year 1984,  it had been a long and arduous journey. Compressed into a less than five feet frame, she had been a fighter all along.  

She had been well looked after by her daughters and their families, each one of  them competing with the others to provide her the very best.
The younger daughter, Lila, stayed with her and attended to her throughout till she breathed her last.
She left all those who loved her orphaned, desolate and shattered.

She had had a good and contented life. She had never been demanding. 
She knew only to love. She knew only to give. She knew only to care.
The good soul she had been the end was very peaceful and quiet.
She simply flew away to her mentor.
