Re: Sam Kapasi is NO MORE :( Dear all,
It has taken me till now to master the courage to put these lines together. Today, it has been exactly 7 weeks since our tragic accident and still it seems simply unbelievable that what is happened is really true. How much I wish I could rewind this thing called „time“.
You all have been following our love story over the past years and have wished us love, joy and happiness in abundance. Therefore, I do not think that many more words about us are necessary. The void that Sam has left cannot ever be described with words but over the last few weeks, I have received so many messages – in this thread and offline too - and I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the sympathy and wishes expressed.
Many people have asked for more details about the accident. Please understand that this is not something I would like to see up online, ever. However, I would like to put speculations to rest. No, we were not speeding. No, nothing was wrong with our car as such. We were just damn unlucky due to a burst tyre. The only thing that I would like to share and for which I will ever be grateful, is that Sam did not have to suffer but has passed away in exactly the way he always wished for, in a matter of a second.
For many we were “TheCouple®” in this forum - something we have always cherished and would have liked to enjoy for many years longer. Despite our different cultural backgrounds and upbringings, we have succeeded in lighting up the flame of our love and making it shine high and bright. I know I am very blessed to have had this kind of deep love in my life. Quote:

Right, so let's tick that off the list along with wondering to who spend the rest of my life with, who to go out for dinner with, whose shoulder to cry on, who to turn to for help day or night and how to get laid on a regular basis.
Now to focus on life and how to live it well.
Seriously, the time we spend either looking for, or imagining the ideal partner is incredible. Either we do that or fool everyone into thinking that we prefer to be alone. I don't prefer it. I'll say it now. Everytime something exciting happens, you have someone whose should you tap and say: Hey, did you see that?
Sometimes the greatest of my holidays have been ruined because I experienced a moment and didn't have someone to say that to at that moment. And now, here she is. My better half. My partner. |
I often think of the above with a big smile cause it had turned out that we were not just partners, friends, husband and wife, but soul mates in a very special way. And it comforts me to know that Sam will always continue to be with me, and with all those who have dedicated a place in their heart for him.
My mother had sent me a beautiful poem by Henry Scott-Holland, which I would like to share with you too: All is well.
Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away to the next room.
I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other,
that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way,
which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect.
Without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same that it ever was.
There is absolute unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you.
For an interval.
Somewhere. Very near.
Just around the corner.
All is well.
Many of you have read a lot (if not all) of Sam’s threads and many of you know about his view points on living life, enjoying life and making the most out of it. To refresh your minds, let me lead you back to the following post: http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/travel...tml#post804559
And so it comes that I would like to wish all of you a very happy Diwali and prosperous new year. And for those of you who are lighting up their houses, keep a diya on for Sam and make him smile! After all, Diwali has always had a special meaning for him and he enjoyed this festival with all his heart. Our diyas are already lighting up the skies.
Stay happy and live “TheYeti® Life”. He would have wanted you to.

Reason: Fixing link to point to post #545 in that thread, as something got formatted wrong when you posted it. :)
