Note of thanks

Yesterday, my mother had the opportunity to go and see my father. He is currently doing fine and I pray that he will be safe and fine in future too. I will keep you all posted on how he is as the days pass by. I did not get the chance to talk to my father but hearing from my mother that he is fine has given me some comfort.

From the depths of my heart, I thank all of you for your well-wishes and prayers. I want you to know that I've read each posted comment and appreciate your reaction, your time and words. Thank you to our friends who have supported us through these intensely difficult times. Thank you especially to those who were ready to come forward and speak on our behalf. Thank you even to those who may not have agreed with my father's views but were not accepting of the recent turn of events from the current president. It takes courage to make those decisions and I respect that. Thank you to those who have criticized or turned us away when we asked for help. Without such criticism and indifference, I might not have felt the need to create this blog. But above all, thank you to my friends and family. It is a huge relief to know for certain where my father is and that he is okay.

I wish you all the courage we need to make it through these times of trials when our beliefs are shaken.

Sincerely,
Aparna Fonseka
