For Nana Bhai, who wrote my truth into being.

For you, who too has lived long years of silence. Who too has endured heartbreak, abandonment, trauma, and cruelty. Who too yearns to feel seen, heard, understood, and loved. Who too believes that humankind, we can and must do better. The love begins with us. You and I, ultimately, are the voices to alleviate the darkness. I wrote this for you. I am yours.
