Happy 80th Birthday

 Jennifer Loretta (nee Marcedo) D'Souza is my second eldest sister.  She was an important part of my baby and toddler years, helping our Mother look after me. She holds a special place in my heart along with sisters Jacinta Lydia (nee Marcedo)  Rao and Judaline Lyn (nee Marcedo)  Cantem. 

Cheers Jenny! on your 80th Birthday👍🏾

Tons of love ❤️, your baby sister, Jacqui

 For context, to be read along with this poem:

This poem highlights the pathology of justifying one's own abhorrent behaviour, because one feels that one has divine backing to be misinformed and cruel.     

[It is futile to expect empathy from those whose idea of righteousness is re-victimizing the victim]

मेरे दिल में बसने वाले

 मेरे दिल में बसने वाले ...

Nobody Can Love You As I Do

 

यह बरसो पहले की बात है

 यह बरसो पहले की बात है ...
