Kumkum was really someone to look up to not just as a son, father, and grandfather, but a true idol. He showed so much care and compassion for everyone around him and never failed to make you laugh here and there from a silly comment. Family was always the number one priority on his list and would not rest until he saw that we were all satisfied. Just witnessing a simple smile from him had more power than an entire nation's energy source to make you smile brighter than 1000 watts. It was great to see how much he cared about making memories by taking pictures whenever he had the chance to and how he made them that much better to look at. Another thing that will live on in our memories alongside himself is his generosity and his love for taking us all out to K&W. Although we are going through a massive loss, we will not fail to reciprocate the relief that has restored him and the endings to the suffering he has battled. I know I would not have been able to fight back my tears if I had witnessed the scene of his peaceful transfer, but from an earlier personal discussion with him and a promise I have made to him, I am holding strong and not shedding a single tear of sadness for his departure. Kumkum, I love you, and rest in wonderful peace.
