Dilhan N Samantha Wimalaratna thank you

Yes, I also hope so too

I saw Thilanga mami was seated in front of us during our lunch

(when it was our turn to eat after the monks)

that Thilanga uncle took a photo of him to the morgue

to make it look as much like him as possible --

to respect what Thilanga mami did for us that dark day

(and also to spoil their alms giving/ Dhaneya lunches).

I remember that one bad day every day...

It feels like it happened just last Thursday..

I remember Thilanga mami delivered a speech

of what my Thathi had written as part of his Last Will.

I can't remember exactly what was written

(I was 12 years old)

But I remember in the end, he bid all his friends and his enemies:

"good night"

May Thathi's Soul Rest In Peace.
