Shreya Dixit

Age 19

It feels like yesterday.
But it was fifteen years ago on November 1, 2007.
Our very loving Shreya was snatched away from us by irresponsible act of a distracted driver.

We will never know
where she would be today,
ascending a corporate ladder,
actively working for a social cause, or
singing professionally in an opera,
her career interests she would often mention at the dinner table. 

What we do know
With her donated organs
Some see better,
Many more, live better.
Those lucky individuals, we will never meet.

What we absolutely know
She loved us dearly, and
We miss
Her melodious singing,
Her warm hugs.

Her ‘Love you dad’ from her last phone call
Rings in her dad’s ear without pause.

SHREYA is in every breath of ours
Since that dreadful day,
November 1, 2007. 

We will remain
Shreya’s Didi, Mom & Dad
