Platonic relationships are like clouds that arrive in the scorching sun. They are not there to pour heavily on the burns you feared through - throughout the 43°C phase of the season. Platonic relationships are there, steady and mellowing down the harshness of life. My grandpa was one of the best platonic relationships I have had a chance to experience. He was magical and intrinsic and as I always say - my biggest cheerleader. When he was here around me my world felt calm and I had more courage. I could get wounds and scars on basketball court, become a valedictorian in the class at University, but he would be there for me with his charm and shining gaze looking genuinely happy and fond of me. He took me out for having icecreams in the summer evenings and we used to listen to radio in the afternoon and he used to spill out many facts about the song we listened to. He was a connoisseur of many pleasures of life. Living with him made me understand the importance of "JOY". His enthusiasm of celebrating moments and being so generous and lively about life has made his presence in my minds eye evergreen after his passing too.
I also know that this platonic relationship I had with him, although he was my grandpa was so meaningful that I can truly call him my best friend, my soulmate. Forever!
He has long gone, his love will stay with me. Until I meet him again behind the veil.
