It was tough getting back to work last week, after the holiday. We’d spent a week at home – allowing ourselves to re-explore the spaces we spent with Kiran. I guess I’d like to get to a point where I can cross back and forth between these two worlds readily – to live in both of them at the same time. There’s such a swirl of memories that have arisen over the last few weeks. I mostly have good memories of Kiran now. He still makes me smile. There is, however, always the pang of loss that follows. I just miss him so much.
Next weekend, we have planned a remembrance for Kiran. There are many people we will see again for the first time since the Memorial Service last year. I’m looking forward to it. I want to hold on to Kiran’s world – not in a static sense of being frozen in time – but in keeping a community connected.

I’m sorry we can’t make it to the remembrance. We will be thinking of you both, as we often do. Hold on to the good memories; they’re the ones worth keeping. Do let me know if you’re up to meeting for lunch or coffee. I can easily make it to MIT during the week.

It is impossible to imagine that a whole year has gone by. I am looking forward to seeing you tomorrow, sharing time and memories of Kiran together.
