#GratitudeThread 1/n

Its been 2 years 10 months since @Twitter for me and it was @manhasvikas41 who pushed me to open my heart..

Reluctantly I did...and today I feel like thanking all of you for being part of my journey in many ways...

While sharing stories of pride in pain..
2/n

Have learnt so much here..

Connected to so many which in a way is #IndiaTogether

Yes its been tough.. year after year...yet, trust and faith in my country and people is getting stronger..

This week in particular been an emotional roller coaster every year since Akshay..
3/n

Sharing these images that gave hope when I was in the depths ... unable to look ahead...

Four years ago this week we went to see where Akshay had fought to his last breath saving many lives

Believe it or not, his glasses were found intact

67 days after he was taken away..
4/n

Every officer and soldier there said it was no less than a miracle..

because over 50 visits to the site had been made by multiple investigating teams..

Every scrap was important... shrubs had been cut, even mud dug up to collect every bullet, every shrapnel as 'evidence'.
5/n

Yet his glasses had waited over 2 months...for us..

It felt as if Akshay wanted his family to come to his Karmabhoomi

As if he knew we would...and made sure we felt his presence..

It pushed us to do what he would want us to..

Continue to serve our nation....
6/n

The next year, same week, I found Akshay's ruby ring while looking for something else... the only piece of gold we had gifted him.. on his 15th birthday

He took it off before going to NDA

And was forgotten all these years..

until it showed up same time in 2018
7/7
I have worn it since. Red as blood, maybe he left it for me...?

Opening up my heart today is a message.. 'when at your lowest, don't give up'

Look for the #Signs that give strength and motivation to #KeepGoing

Thank you for reading 🙏

Goodnight. God bless. #JaiHind 🇮🇳🇮🇳
