Dear Udeshi,

I am really sorry to hear about the loss of your father. On a positive note, be happy, he is in a better place than this cruel world. I am sure that he is looking down upon you from whereever he is.

Take care.

I grew up listening to my father who sang this song quite often in the past. Even as a little girl I had always realized this was a special kind of a song. This has been an inspiration to my upbringings. I remember memorizing each word of it and adopting it in to my life.
