Very sorry to hear about Kannan Periappa s passing. He used to be very attached to my father and now both are not there! I remember his spotless white kurta and veshti and his dignified presence. In 1984 when Srirangam Thatha passed away, Kanna perappa taught all grandchildren some lovely Sai Bhajans in the Srirangam verandah. Every evening he use dto hold a session. which we still remember. He used to sing them beautifully! He and periamma and Vijayanand made a trip to Mumbai in the 1980s and we all went to Mahabaleshwar together-it was a great trip. I remember visiting them very often in Chennai, at least before my father fell ill, after which I used to not visit Madras often.
I think you should take consolation in the fact that he lived long and lived to see a lot of grandchildren and even seen Prasanna 's wedding. It s very hard to fight the loss of a loved one. You are much older and Kannappa was much older so I am sure you will be able to handle it more maturely. I ve had a very difficult time since Dad 's passing. Everytime I think I ve got over the grief, it comes back in some way- some memory, some thought and then I break down. I keep pushing the thoughts away to lead my day to day life.
May God give Vasanti Periamma the strength to withstand this loss.
Affly
Vandana
