Letter from Malayalee Nurse from USA:
A family at Changanachery (Kerala) was puzzled when
the coffin of their dead mother arrived from USA . It
was sent by one of the daughters. The dead body was so
tightly squeezed into the coffin, with no space left
in it. When they opened the lid they found a letter on
top which read as follows:
Dear brothers and sisters ,
I am sending our mother's body to you, since it was
her wish that she should be buried in the parelpally
cemetry. Sorry, I could not come along because nurses
salary going to increase from next month so I doubt
whether I will get in case I am not here. You will
find inside the coffin, under Amma's body, 12 cans of
cheese, 10 packets of chocolates and 4 packets of
Badam. Please divide these among all of you. On the
sides of her head there is a tin of Nido and Tang. On
Amma's feet you will find a new pair of Reebok shoe
(size 10) for Biju.Also, there are 2 pairs of shoes
for Lijju's and Ammani's sons.. Hope the sizes are correct.
Amma is wearing 6 American T-Shirts. The large size is for Sujoy and the others are for Tomy and Sarin. The 2
new Jeans Amma wearing are for the boys. The Swiss
watch that Minju wanted is on Amma's left wrist.
Tangamma Aunty, Amma is wearing the necklace, earrings and ring that you
had asked for, Please take them.
The 6 white cotton socks that Amma is wearing must be
divided among Johnny and Cherian.
In Amma's pockets there are about 25 envelopes that
are to be posted immediately. Some are drafts from the
exchange company. Those marked "By Hand" are to be
hand delivered (these are letters from my friends in
the hostel, "pisukkikal thanne,enthu cheyyam").
There is also Rosamma's wedding album I brought here
to show (off) my friends in Riggae hostel on my last
visit. Also, you will find some syringes and two boxes
of panadol and some other medicines which I don't know
what for. But still I am sending them. Give it to the neighbours of Saramma ,
OK ? Johnny chettanu joli onnum ayilla, Prarthikkanam ketto.
Appa is also too old and very sick nowadays.
I will send more items, when I pack him, hopefully by
the year end.
