‘Paapa’ as he was fondly called and known to all his dearest family, folks n friends, our grandfather lived a legendary life with utmost simplicity. Being a man of principles, there is no doubt, he lived a successful life playing roles as a son, husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather and great grand father! Though I have personally observed him to be silent in most of our meetings in the last 4 years of our relationship, I have understood him to be a very keen observer and a true gentleman. His words of wisdom have inspired many and I indeed feel privileged to have met such a great man! My wife Steffy joins me in saying that he was truly a man of love and a bundle of affection. He has always tried to hide his emotions, but Steffy admits that she often noticed his eyes filled whenever she approached him to say GOODBYE at the end of her short stay at Vazhithala home. She says, his question, ‘When do we meet next??’ has always touched her heart. Steffy adds saying that there has been no time when Paapa said a NO to her request of visiting her home in Aluva, irrespective of his ill-health. He has taken the pain to visit us home at least 4-5 times and once to our clinic. Thank you so much Paapa for bestowing us with your love and consideration. Paapa, as we bid farewell to you, the same question comes from our heart, ‘When do we meet next??’ We really hope to have our family reunion with YOU in Heaven some day, some time as GOD permits in the future! We pray your soul rests in peace, in Eternal glory. Miss you so much dear Paapa.. Love n prayers, Arun & Steffy Maliakal, Aluva
