Love is.. They met as a couple of teenagers hanging out at the skating rink. She was fighting Leukemia and even had a hospital graduation. He proposed several times, and she shook him off saying he is not serious. Acc. to him, those who know him will vouch that he never is :P. She never ceased smiling, no matter how painful her ordeal was. She worked at an kindergarten and touched the lives of several kids. After several years of courtship, they got married - briefly. She spent 4 happy years with him, till it was time to go "home". Love is the memory of his best friend. Love is the patience to wait for her for 16 long years. Love is faith that whatever happened to her body, God was always in control of the situation. Love is the strength to know that she is free from pain and is at a happier place. Love is the celebration of life that they lived together. Love is hope, that he will meet her again later. Deepika Ranade
