A Tribute to My Godmother- Aunty Virginia who insisted that I call her Ginnie. Where do I begin? For starters, I can’t believe that I am writing a tribute because I still can’t believe that you have passed, and I say this because when I pray for the souls of family and friends to rest in peace and mention them by name, I can’t bring myself to say your name. It’s tough on me. When I was a little girl and you would visit India, I was in awe of you, even a little frightened of you to be honest. But the relationship changed over the years, and I’m so glad it did. I have a lot to thank you for- from the typical British dolls that you brought as gifts when I was little to a whole series of Enid Blyton’s “St. Clare’s” when I was about twelve, to the tape recorder you brought in 1978. The many little trips/holidays- Gopalpur, Singapore, Sikkim- where we got to meet Aileen who we had no idea existed and then most recently the lovely getaway which you termed “honeymoon “to Niagara Falls for Kenny and I. I was touched with how you planned this trip- the hotel, fancy dinner at The Skylon, a trip to the casino and a show. I loved the little Canada bag (because we were tourists) that you had thoughtfully filled with water, snacks, a pen and pad, so we had something when we were sightseeing. It was fun going from one vineyard to the next, where you and Kenny did justice to the tasting, leaving Marie and me outside in the parking when we went back to one we had already visited, and you and Kenny were off tasting again. Our trip to St. Catherine’s will always be a very fond and fun memory- You and Kenny singing karaoke! Oh, my goodness, that was a scream! You know I miss our chats and WhatsApp messages. I can’t believe that on that fatal day we had messaged each other! If only I knew, I would have called. At least you would have said that you were feeling uncomfortable. I wonder- did you know that this was going to happen? You wished us all for Christmas on Facebook – earlier than usual, on the 18th of December. I know that you are united with the rest of your family and you are happy with them. You posted a picture in loving memory of mummy on the 8th of December on Facebook. I think you knew! You had to be home for Christmas! Thank you for the last birthday wish from you- it makes me teary and proud. I quote your wish to me because I love it- “Happy Birthday God daughter. Cannot tell you enough times how very proud I am of your achievements. God bless. “ Till I see you on the other side, you and mum have fun! Your loving Goddaughter, Caroline
