Dear Eggplant Uncle,

I just wanted to take the time to tell you how thankful I am for you and how you are my hero.

You have been my hero since the moment you stepped into my life. I remember being told that when I was

little and I was holding a eggplant, I would keep staring back at the eggplant and then at you.

This was the moment I first called you Eggplant Uncle. Later on, I became your little okra and we have been

two peas in a pod ever since. I can not thank you enough for all the love you have given me throughout the years.

Whenever we are together there is nothing but laughter and smiles. Bangen Mamu, you are my hero, I've seen

what you went through and how much you do for everyone else. I see the person you are who is kind, sweet,

funny and gives everything and asks for nothing in return. Bangen you are my hero and will always be, thank

you for being my uncle but also my godfather. Most importantly, thank you for being my one and only Bangen

Mamu, love you to the other universe and back.

Love,

Britney Pillai
