Sometimes I let myself imagine what it might be like to know Papa as your nieces and nephews in India did, or as the aunties and uncles here did—the family friends and relatives from both sides of the family who got the best of Papa without having to deal with the painful parts. He was so generous with time and money and attention and care, and the intense admiration and loyalty and devotion he received from them fueled even more kindness and generosity on his behalf.
