“It’s been a year, and there hasn’t been a day I haven’t thought about you, especially today, on your birthday.

No matter what, the vacuum of losing a friend can never be erased. Going through our chats, listening to your voice notes and holding onto everything I have of you. Never seen a fighter like you. I hope the other side of the world is keeping you at peace. You’ll always be missed.”

It may be recalled that Keerthy Suresh had, almost a year ago, penned a heart-touching post on Instagram about the brave fight that her friend put up while battling the tumour.

Penning the post soon after her friend’s demise, she had then said:

“The last few weeks have been really hard to deal with. It’s unbelievable to see my childhood friend leave us so soon.

Diagnosed with a severe brain tumour at 21, she fought for almost eight years until last month. I haven’t seen anyone with such willpower until last November, when she underwent her third surgery. Post that was my last memory of having a deep conversation with her, where she cried that she couldn’t take the pain anymore. I held my emotions intact in front of her, but the minute I stepped out, I wore my glasses and mask and wept all through the hospital corridor.

I don’t even want to mention the very last time I met her while she was unconscious. The only question I kept asking myself was why this happened to such a young girl who hadn’t even started living her life, who hadn’t even seen the world, and who had so many dreams she couldn’t fulfill. I still don’t have the answer. The severity of her tumour was something that could have taken her even sooner, but she fought until her last breath. You left exactly a month ago. Not a day will pass without thinking about you, Machutta. Remembering you today on your birthday and forever @maneeshamnair.”
