"Never think it's time to die till you are called; for the Lord leaves us till we have done our work, and never sends more sin and sorrow than we can bear and be the better for, if we hold fast by him" Louisa May Alcott

I heard something in church that really struck me today, "Sometimes we don't understand what God is doing or why He does things....but one thing is for sure, God never makes mistakes. If we were to ask Him why He's done what He has done, do you know what He would say? 'Don't worry, I know EXACTLY what I'm doing.'"
God has His reasons, and we may never understand them, but we can rest assure that He always has our best interest in mind.

"Never think it's time to die till you are called; for the Lord leaves us till we have done our work, and never sends more sin and sorrow than we can bear and be the better for, if we hold fast by him" Louisa May Alcott

Miss your smile!

Another day closer till we meet again...

I never met Sunil, nor do I know his friends. If fact, I live hundreds of miles from where Sunil lived his amazing life. I visit this site often and for reasons unknown to me, feel connected to your loss. I was at the airport on Sunday and saw a man who I swore was Sunil! How strange that I recognize a person that I never knew.

Sunil seems as though he was an incredible person. I'm saddened that his friends and family don't have the opportunity to experience life with him in the physical sense, though I know that you all will continue the spiritual connection forever.

My thoughts and prayers are with you always.

I miss you every single day. Even though we didn't talk all the time, even though we didn't see each other enough, you had more of an impact on me than you'll ever know.
When I talk about you, I tell people how well you lived your life. How no one ever had a bad word to say about you. How I wouldn't even think about having a party if you couldn't make it.
That's the kind of person you have always been. To me and to so many others. That's the kind of person I strive to be. I try not to be sad, but it's so very hard b/c I just miss you so incredibly much. My life will truly never be the same.

YO...word up dude...

I'm actually heading to India tomorrow...gotta go see my Ammachi who really isn't doing too well...I also think I need to get away from here for a few days...you know what I'm talking about...

You know about the day I had, because I swear you were standing next to me on the corner of Canal and Varick before I walked into the building...pretty amazing how I can put 2000 songs on shuffle on my iPod yet right before I am about to turn it off, that song comes on...hopefully everything works out, I think we are doing everything we can do...

Only you can make people who don't know you care about you...freakin guy..Mr. Smooth as always...I feel bad for people like Priya who never got to know who you are...At the same time I sit here and cry because I knew EVERYTHING about you and still feel like it wasn't enough.

I'm rambling I know...but I can't help it. I'm sorry I may not be here for the birth of your nephew. I already have the order for some little indian outfits for the little guy. Are we allowed to call him the "Prime Minister" the same way we used to make fun of you?? I can't wait for this kid to get here. From Day 1, this kid is going to hear everything about you.

I wonder when these tears will ever stop flowing. But as somebody did mention everyday I am one more day closer to chilling with you again...

Peace out my Brother...

Hey, Sunil -

I am really glad that I got to spend some time with you the other day - your church, your faith, your incredible family, your amazing friends. Somehow, even in your absence, you have found a way to bring people together: with warmth, with love, with laughs... and with food. Food and liquor - yes, with food and liquor.

The love that can spring from wells that transcend the physical limits of time and space are astounding, and indescribable. It's like 'Star Trek', or Shatner... seemingly science fiction, but a very real feeling amongst those who know you.

I will never forget you, and I doubt that you will ever fail to inspire me. I wish I could tell you about New Orleans, man... but I tried my best to channel your humanity, humor and generosity of spirit while I was down there. And I hope it was felt.

Sigh. Anyway: guess what? The Mets are still in first place. But I bet you already know that, huh?

Thinking of you, always - a redundancy I fear that you have plagued on me for life. Jeez.

So much love.
Your Pal,
A-L

I didn't know Sunil either but yet I find myself visiting this page over and over just to find out one more thing about him or see another photo. How is it possible to care about someone you never met and be affected so deeply by their death? The more I read what people write on this site about him, the more I feel a connection to Sunil. I feel like I got to know him through the words.

My faith was tested last week when my church family suffered the tragic loss of one of one of our youth members in a car accident. I wasn't close to the young man but the shock of losing someone you used to see and never expected to be gone is horrible.

Now I know how members of Sunil's church family and friends must have felt when he was taken away so soon. I wish I had gotten the chance to know Sunil. I pray that he is in God's arms and watching over his beloved friends and family. May his spirit live on forever in your hearts. God Bless.

I was talking to Min tonight...of course about you! And she told me of how she described you to other people...she said "You could just see love & happiness radiating out of him. It was amazing to see." You have always and will always amaze me, every day of my life.

I agree with Prashant...it is amazing to see people who never met you post something on here. It is a true testament to the person you are...your presence will never disappear. I find myself on a roller-coaster of emotions...some days I am strong, and the next I am sobbing in bed like a strung-out maniac. Knowing you, you would probably think it was cute...if it weren't so tragically real.

I miss you Sunil...and I love you very much. Going to E3 next week...and I think of what you would be saying to encourage me. And I already told you that one of the video games we picked up is called "Tom & Jerry Tales"! I wonder if it is a coincidence or a true sign from you...you know how I over-analyze everything. Do they make Tom & Jerry Bowls up there? Ah well...I'm sure by now you can whip them up with a snap of your finger.

I wish I could still talk to you. What are you doing up there? What have you learned? Knowing you...you've learned more than anyone up there, and challenging everyone to a special "Angel" version of Trivial Pursuit. Just don't make them too angry...not everyone can be a genius like you...or shall I say "genious"?!? So, what'd you have for dinner? Read any good books lately? I'd like to let you know I've read about 6 books since you left....so I'm sure I've read more than you!! Just because you're up in heaven doesn't mean you'll magically become a faster reader than me!

Life's not the same without you Sunil...but then again, life wasn't the same from the moment I met you. I worry about you every day...and every night like clockwork I wish upon a star that you are at peace. I hope you're having fun up there, and singing your heart away...I have a feeling you already have a legion of adoring fans.

We miss you so much Sunil...each and every one of us. And although I always ask you for words of encouragement...it's been a while since I've been able to give you some of my own. So here goes: You are as beautiful up there as you were here on Earth...and that is more beautiful than anyone I have ever met. Love knows no boundaries...of this I am sure...and so I know you feel how much love we all have for you. I believe this is enough to keep you warm & safe at night. Have fun up there!! You were a shining star down here...but NOW you really are one up there! Shine bright & strong, so your light and warmth may be felt by all of us down here. Did I mention to you that you should HAVE FUN?!?! Life is too short to be sad...isn't this what I always told you? The life you are living now is eternal, and we will all join you one day when it is our time. Until then..."Sing like no one's listening and Dance like nobody's watching"!

Love - Your P.P. P-I-C

Hey cuz, How are you doing? Hopefully having a blast, I’m sure you are. Yesterday we had Nissiamma’s baby shower and man I missed u sooo much. When we were downstairs opening the gifts and playing all the baby games, I could just imagine that if you were here that you would be the winner of each baby game. I would love to see your reaction after you tried each of the baby food thinking that you’ve gotten all of them right, but ya who am I kidding!?. U know nothing about babies..:) I saw ur picture on the computer downstairs and all I could keep saying to myself was “I wish you were here”, “ I wish you were here” I know yesterday you were looking down on us and probably just laughing at all of us. What kills me is when I see your parents, Nissiamma, and Shinuchachan, I know there trying to hold strong for the lil baby, especially Nissiamma. I admire your sister soo much for dealing the way she does. I see Baychapachan and aunty during this whole time and how am I suppose to console them? It’s not fair, I see your dad holding all this inside and hurts soo freakin bad.:(. Daddy always told me that Baychapachen is the strong one and he always keeps everything inside, and Sunil that’s exactly what he’s doing. Smiling, talking, trying to be happy for you, but I know its hard. We’re all trying, but trust me it’s not very easy, especially when you were such an awesome person. Its funny it’s been more than a month that you’ve been gone and yet I look at your picture and keep thinking “He just went out of town and he’ll be back, I guess that’s just wishful thinking, right? So your nephew is supposed to come out soon and I can’t wait! Man I’m going to spoil that baby soo much, I think everybody is going to though.:)…Don’t worry I’ll teach your nephew to never mess with Texas.:). I’ll even buy him a whole Texan attire so he knows what he’s missing out.:). Well I could keep babbling on how much I want you here, but I’m sure your getting sick of everybody saying that to you. I just wanted to say that I miss you soo much Sunil and love you tons.:(

Miss you brother

Hey, Uncle Sunil!

Checking in on my way home from work - as always, it seems...

Congratulations on being an uncle! And a big congratulations to Nisse and Shinu - if they see this... to both of you: your warmth, friendliness and generosity is a gift to the world, and I am sure that your son shall bring that very same light with him. wherever he goes...

Such love to you! This world has just gotten happier, six pounds and nineteen inches at a time...

Big love,

WOOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOO!!!

That's the first thing that came to my mind when I got the email from Josh. Mind you it was 3:30 in the morning, but I had a feeling our little package of joy was on his way. Kept that blackberry right up against my ear to make sure I heard it go off.

I can't wait to see this kid. I'll do whatever is asked of me (except diapers...not my thing man). I can't wait to see everybody. I've had a lot of time to think over the past few days and it always comes back to you my friend.

You were always the first person I would call on these type of trips, whether it was India last year, or Tampa two days before your passing. I always wanted you to know what was going on. Or how much fun I was having and telling you how you should be with me. I think about our last conversation we had regarding Spring Training in Arizona and how I was going to make you come with me next year. Text messaging you that night because I saw Robinson Cano with this young hottie. For some reason, you always loved hearing my dumb stories.

It would be wrong for us to put soooo many expectations on little Jonathan. None of us would be able to fill your shoes, we can't make this kid do it. All we can do is tell little Jon boy all about you. What a great person you were, and how much he missed out on knowing you.

Once again, I am rambling. I don't know it's what I do best. Anyway, I sit here trying only to move my fingers to type because it is that hot. We all know how much you loved the heat..hahha...

alrighty my friend, see ya tonight...and btw, can ya stop by one of my dreams one of these days...it would be nice to talk to you again.

Peace Out Brother...

Sunil, it's taken me a long time to sit and write to you. These past couple of months have been an emotional roller coaster for me between the birth of my daughter, you leaving us and josh going through hell losing you. Seeing the pain in his eyes brings me to tears everytime. You would think among all the brothers that josh would be the toughest and stongest through all this...but thats just not true. I know his heart aches for you especially now that your nephew has arrived and you are not here to share in the celebration. I know he would love to be having a drink with you filling you in on all the joys of having a new baby in the family...the way they smell after a bath...the way they smile at you when they recognize your face...the unconditional love! Olivia would have loved to have met the man that meant so much to her uncle. I thank God for giving her to me because she has been Josh's source of comfort through this whole mess. She puts a smile on his face when none of us can. You would be so proud of your friend. He is an AMAZING uncle.

We all miss you so much. Dad can still see you sleeping on our couch downstairs. He loved how you would be the first up...folding the sheets and comforter into a nice neat pile. Its the little things you miss. Hope you're doing well. Come visit us...especially josh. Olivia's lucky to have a new friend...or should I say "boyfriend" HaHa...

How is it possible that I have not seen you in years but yet feel like I miss seeing you everyday? Congratulations on your nephew! I can't wait to see him. He is one blessed little boy cuz not only does he have all of this love surrounding him down here but yours from up above. Everyone misses you here. Your sister is being her strong self much like your father..but when I look past her smile I can see the sadness and the longing for you in her eyes. Shinu is trying to do the right thing and be strong. He's hurting..I pray for them and for you every day...and for all of your brothers who miss you soooo much. When I first found out about your passing I visited this site to help me make up for not keeping in touch with you..I regret not staying close to the Yonkers family..and you have made me realize a lot of things..about life, about strength and about love for one another..but most importantly never to forget where you came from..I will never forget, Sunil. Every morning I think of you on my way to work. I keep your picture in my room so that I can remember what you have taught me. I will stop obsessing about the future and live for the present. You have helped me realize that....I think that you have made a LOT of people realize that. On your 40th day in church someone spoke and said that you were that good that you finished that race in 28 years...God bless you man..Keep an eye on your family and friends..we will ALWAYS need you..

Sunumon,

Thank you for giving 28 wonderful years to our family. During the last 5 years, especially after Shinu also joined our family, our house became Heaven; filled with joy, laughter, fun and good food - thanks to Mom. Even the Heavenly Angels became jealous and they decided to pluck you away, leaving us in eternal sorrow. Mom still can’t stop crying. Her health is deteriorating due to lack of sleep. I wish I can cry like her. I cry in my solitude, especially while in my office.

Sunu, I still have some of the Glenlivet you gave me for Christmas. That bottle will outlive me. Dear, I feel so bad that I never told you, how much I love you.

Sunumon, you are the perfect son any father would hope for. I am the proudest father. I never had any complaints about you except for one now. I was counting on you to cover my face at my burial; instead you asked me to cover yours. It’s not fair.

Dear, I want to be the first one to meet with you. Sooner the better. When I see you face to face, I will be holding your picture in my hand.

Nothing but love,
Dad

Hey Brother, its been a while since I wrote anything here. I wrote my speech so everyone could read it, but I know you had already heard it. I've been leaving you messeges on your cell because I know you are still checking it and because I get to hear your voice when I do. Since you went home it had always gone straight to voicemail, but it rings now. So i keep calling hoping that you'll pick up. I know your busy now dealing with heavenly matters but I know I'll talk to you again one day.
This year began differently than any other because it was the first New Years we didn't celebrate together. I missed you then and I miss you now so much. I miss you when I go to the balcony at church, I miss you when I laugh, because you made me laugh so much. I miss you when I watch baseball games because I loved to talk trash, telling you how bad the Mets were. I miss you when people tell me about events coming up because I know you won't be there with us. I miss you all the time. I still here your voice all the time, telling me I'm dressed too casual or asking me if I need a razor to shave. I also hear you telling me to stop wasting time and becuase of that, my life has the direction and drive it needs to be more like you. My brother Sunil, you are my hero. I love you and miss you so much. There is so much more I want to tell you but I don't have the strength right now. I write you again soon or leave you a voicemail. I love you.

So here we are again...approaching two whole months...it is so surreal. I got such good news this week, and I wanted to call and tell you but I guess you must already know, you probably had something to do with it. Your nephew is beautiful, not that we would have expected anything less. May the joy of his start here on earth help us deal with the void you have left. I think about you all the time, but you know that. Your spirit has touched so many, whether they knew you in this life or not. It makes me smile when I read these posts from people who didn't know you...what a blessed person you are to have this effect. You never got to meet my Nanny, she was a tremendous inspiration in my life. Say hi to her for me. Tell my grandpa that I am trying to make him proud as I walk in his footsteps through the halls of Fordham Law. What am I talking about. If I know you, you've already met each and every departed person that has had an impact on your friends' and family's life. Anyway, I tend to ramble you know that. Love you. Hugs babe.

I know something of what this feels like to you all. My best friend was murdered before my very eyes, a month before my freshman year of college. This was 12 years ago now, but I still have much hidden pain.
Often times, we don't agree with the way that our loved ones are 'called up,' but I like to think that these are not just random events, but instances with purpose behind them.....purpose that we, as human beings, merely do not understand. Although I didn't know Sunil (what a pretty name)and have never heard of him until 10 minutes ago, you all have my condolences, and I assure you that he is in a much better place than we are. I know you're hurting right now, but don't worry, you'll get through it.
Although the grief is still too near for most of you, do your best to show a beautiful smile, much like the one that Sunil, himself, constantly put on display. That's what he would want you to do.

congratulations uncle sunil! first thing i said was may jonathan inherit your dancing abilities, specifically doing the same dance no matter what the song, your ability to sing off key but louder than anyone and your love of cold cuts. but even more than those, i hope jonathan has your ear-to-ear permanent smile, your love for life and just about everything else you are. i miss you so much.

sunil,

I never knew you, or your wonderful family or your absolutely awesome friends who can still connect with you even though you're not here anymore. While reading through this page that all those people who love you made, I realized that maybe today is the last day and I won't get a chance to live tomorrow. I may not get a chance to apologize or say 'I love you' or finish something I started.

So thank you, and all of these wonderful people, for making me realize that life on earth may not be eternal. But our love for somebody who touched our lives can be.

I keep looking at the picture of all the guys on the altar for the 40th day service. It's such a weird thing to see everyone together again in that particular place. I can still see in my mind a younger version of all of them trying to stifle their giggles as they cracked jokes during service, getting yelled at (and sometimes ears pinched) by Prasanth's dad, and forming the fraternity that they eventually became as adults. Man, I wish Sunil was in that picture -- Of course, he is in there, just not visible to us. And of course, only he could have made that moment possible. I'm sure he was watching the whole service, just getting a big kick out of seeing you all together again on the altar.

Nisse and Shinu, your new little guy is adorable. The fact that Sunil's entrance into heaven coincided so closely with his birth cannot be random. They are linked forever in ways we can't see or understand yet. He will be a great guy, just like Sunil.

Hey cuz,
How are u doing? Hopefully life is great up there. Its been exactly 2 months today that you have been gone from our lives, but it’s only been 1 day since I saw you. I finally saw u in my dream! I was hoping and praying to see you and I finally did. Even though I woke up sad because I wanted to ask you a lot more things than I did, I was just grateful to see your face and u talking to me. I also want to say Congratulations on your new nephew! I saw Baby Jonathan this weekend and man he’s soo adorable even though you already knew that. I’m sure he will get all those wonderful qualities u had and be the half the man you were. I miss you so much and I’ll be waiting for you in my dreams. I love you.

I may have never met Sunil and only found this site through the one and only Melissa Anelli and even live out on the other coast out in Cali. Yet just visiting the site really helps and is just suck an amazing way to rember someone as like Sunil.
I might have never met him, but he seems like such an all around amazing person. Someone i would have enjoyed meeting just on the street.
I give out grief to all Sunil's family and friends since it's hard losing someone like this at such a young age. Like many say, God always has his reasons.
My thoughts and prayers are with all family and friends

I never met Sunil, but looking at these pictures and reading what other people have said about him, I feel the need to speak.

You sound like a very amazing person, Sunil. It makes me wish I had known you. Everything here is nothing but praise. I'm not sure why, but I feel like I know you, even though I've never met any of your family or friends.

Anyway, I just know that you're up in heaven right now watching over your nephew and reading what people have to say about you, and I'm sure you know how much they love you and miss you. I just wanted to say that I miss you too, Sunil. I'm not sure how it's possible to miss someone you've never met, but I do.

One day your family will be reunited with you, and hopefully on that day, I'll get to meet you, too.

Just visiting. What a wonderful memorial to someone obviously loved by so many. In his "Intimations" Ode, William Wordsworth recognizes the fact of loss, but asserts,

What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind.

Sunil seems to have made these lines mean something, by his presence, by the love he has left, "trailing clouds of glory," as Wordswroth writes, "from God, Who is our home." Thank you for this opportunity to see that "primal sympathy" hard at work on this site.

Hey Sunil Chachen! I still remember how that brought a smile to your face whenever I called you that even though we are only a few months apart. So I hear you're an uncle!!! The baby is so perfect. You know there hasn't been a day that has gone by that I don't think of you. When I came back from N.Y. I kept running into random pictures of you. There is one in particular of you with both your hands up in the air dancing at my wedding. You were quite the dancer! Oh Sunil...I still can't believe you're gone. You broke a million hearts that day. God didn't spare us when he came to take only the best. You know your sister is amazing. This is the most difficult time of her life and yet she still manages to calls others to see how they are holding up with their own problems. Sunil Chachen, I know you’ll be watching over us all. We miss you badly. I love you cuz.

Sup Data...

Got back from India a few days ago and finally started to feel semi normal after a bout with jet-lag...

Made it to CT. today to see Jon boy...very cute kid man...but he has abnormally hairy shoulders. Remember when Jerry and Elaine went to go see the "breath taking" kid...that's how I felt when I saw those arms...hahaha...

Come on it wouldn't be right if I didn't make fun of him right. But besides the hairy arms, the kid really is breath taking!!! Real cutie...too bad the kid seems to have taken after his Uncle's sleeping pattern..so I didn't get a chance to play with him much. Guess that will all come in time.

It felt good to see everybody today. Especially to see your Mom driving Nisse nuts...

I gave Nisse the little Indian outfits. At least Nisse and Shinu liked it, I still stand by my earlier statement and plan on making fun of Jon boy when he wears them. If his Upappen, can't make fun of him..then who can right???

That is really sad. I am sorry that Sunil died and that no one could save him. He sounds like a really great person, and maybe God just wanted him back as soon as possible.
The most important thing to do is go on living your life. You can always remember him, but do not live in the past.

What's up brother...doing well here...i'm sure you probably have that dumb smirk on your face after this weekend...the mets did well against the yanks...and if it wasn't for Billy "Sandman" Wagner, you coulda swept the series...
the finale of 24 was last night..i miss recapping the episodes with ya..by the way, i called the ending...the past couple of episodes have been ok, but having the Chinese come and kidnap him made the finale real good...

take care buddy...

God bless you and I pray that you're having a brilliant time where you are.

You sound like a great person and I'm sure God just wanted to you back as soon as possible to hang out.

Keep on smiling everyone.

I would have loved to say I knew this great man. Unfortunately I was not blessed to meet him. He seems like a great guy and I'm sorry for your loss.

I was gazing around Mellissa's website, being that I completly admire her writing, intelligence and spirit; and I began to read what she wrote about Sunil. I have never had the blessing to meet this wonderful man, and could never understand the kind of pain everyone who knew him feels. But...I read what she had posted about him, and I could feel tears flowing from my eyes. I'm not sure why. I've never met this man. But...something about him seemed to reach out to me. I can tell that he was a wonderful person, and I can't help but weep. Ah...I'm so pathetic. Crying over someone I've never met...Just reading about this wonderful person makes my eyes watery. Sorry for ranting like this, please forgive me~

Whats up brother? I was walking in midtown today and went by Ben Benson's. I remember that dinner we had there. I'm sure you remember Josh walking back in to correct the tip shortage.

Thanks for letting me crash that night in your apartment.

I kept telling Nisse and Shinu that I felt so honored...he is beautiful...such a perfect little face, and big beautiful eyes...reminds me of you...alot...you can see that smile of yours has been given new life in your nephew...miss you my friend

Yo Sunil,

It's almost 11pm brother and my I am still at work dealing with crap. Miss being able to complain to you about the bs i gotta put up with here and then you telling me to go find a new job. it was a vicious cycle.

Finally saw you in a dream this past weekend. You don't know how happy I was about that. When I woke up I actually felt good. You were smiling as usual, wish you would've said something though..maybe next time. The dream was kind of crazy. Hope it got through to the right people. Gotta go yell some more, catch you on the other side kid.

peace

I still can't believe it. I look at these pictures and I CAN'T believe it. Of all the people - I think that's how everyone feels. It's hard to imagine a life without _____. This is still really hard and truly BIZARRE. Please take care of everyone. I don't understand this. I can't get my head around it, even now - probably NEVER.
