Dad...Dad... Where are you?

Dad...Dad...
Calls out my heart but I don’t hear from you anywhere!
Where have u gone Dad, leaving me alone, Casting sorrows galore and fears unknown???Every moment from that fateful day -I wished I could unwind the time...To save you from grasp of death and keep you amidst us alive, To soothe away all your pain and fulfill all your wishes, To drive away all your fears and give you lots of love, To shower you with joy and embellish you in happiness, To tell you how much I loved you and how much you meant to me,And share with you my dreams for us and enjoy life's mysteries.
Daddy dearest, don't go away from me, As the void you have left cannot be filled, I need you to be there for me, to care for me, to protect me, As alone I find it very difficult to surpass each day, Stumbling on all the blocks that life has thrown in my way. Dad...Dad...Calls out my heart but I don’t hear from you anywhere!
Where have u gone Dad, leaving me alone, Casting sorrows galore and fears unknown???
Come back Dad, come back to our home...For without you, life’s forlorn, Come back Dad, come back to our home...For without you, it's a place unknown. I know today, that I cannot repay ever...For all your efforts and all your worries, And all your love and all your care,
O God ! Why didn’t you grant us an extra moment to spare…Dad, I only wish today that...If only once, you could forgive me for all the hurt that I caused to thee,
And let me share with you the concerns of my life, I’m sure Dad, that there would have been lesser strife,And we would have understood each other better & been more close in life. Dad, my heart wants to reach out to you each day,I know you are listening... and you are not away,
Dad, why-o-why am I witnessing such a day???
Where I can sense you around but not feel you in any way…Come back Dad, come back to our lives...To bless on the future of your son, daughter and wife,
Come back Dad, come back to our lives....Without you, LIFE is just not LIFE.
Bereft of words, this is all I can say, That with every passing moment, I'm missing you more n’ more in every way! Wishing you were with me for ever…

Vidya Amirapu about my Father

Venkat Rao Babyya was very affectionate
Always the perfect home base we could count on.
Both he and Girijapinni were people we could always rely on Sincerely.Yes in spite of many challenges they shouldered the responsibillity of looking after Thaathagaru and Baamagaru-while everyone else were dispersed the world over.If we could enjoy visiting our grand parents-it is all because of them,we could take it for granted.
This is their punyam-which you Raja and Sirisha and your family have inherited
Thank you for keeping his memeory alive
Sagar & Padma

Revathi Pinni in Remembrance of My daddy

He is a great person, looked after us when we were children and stayed in bhimavaram.

It’s difficult for people to entertain any body , when they in pain but he is one person, inspite of this ill heath he never used to show it to us. Till the last minute he was happy to receive and kept us happy. People like him goto heaven only. He is a great soul and bless him we do miss him and remember him a jovial person.

Kasturi pinni - in Remembrance of my Daddy

Mammaya and girijakka always gave us parental love and affection and welcomed us whenever we visited bhimavaram. I always awaited our trip to bhimavaram.

Mammayya was always jovial and gave us a very good company. There was no dialogue without a joke or humorous flow in mamayya’s conversation. He took a lot of care of tatagaru and ammamma and my parents. He stood an example for all of us/

Mamayya: _ You are always in our memories, we miss you very much. May divine mother bless Raja, Jyothi, sowmi, Anil,Sirisha, and children and akka. Give them strength the face the loss of mamayya

Amirapu Ramakrishna(Rami Anna) in Remembrance of my Daddy

Venkat Rao Uncle evokes much found memories of our child hood. He used to stay with us at Agapura while pursuing his higher studies and he watched growing up. Recently when I last met him just before a month or so before he passed way, he regaled us with humorous memories of those glorious days.

Though he obviously was in discomfort he had this ability of joking over the issue. A very warm, loving and affectionate person whom we are going to miss

In Memoriam,
Amirapu Venkat Rao(1935-2004)
29th July 2004

Our dear babbiya –a most cheerfully disposed person, affectionate and large hearted. Although he suffered heath problems in the later part of this life, he was always cheerful, many like me, who spoke to him on phone, would never get an inkling of his physical comfort, extremely sporting – he would joke most of his time.

As he left us for his heavenly abode, we carry forward memories of the joy he spread. Our prayers for the peace of his soul and for pinni, Sirisha, Raja and all of us as we bear the grief of his loss.
