Today is your 95th birthday. Not a day passes when I don't think of you. In every joy and every sorrow, I remember you and think of what you would say. I see you in myself, every now and then. I know, as you reminded me, this is just a bend in the road. You may be out of sight for now but sometime, somewhere, our path will straighten out and we'll catch you walking just ahead with that confident stride of yours. God be with you, Achan.
