“My father could not travel for his brother's shraddha. We sat together at our table in Toronto and our Bahun carried us through every step. For an hour, the distance was gone.”
“Our daughter was born here and had never seen a nwaran. Watching her grandparents join from Pokhara, all of us on one screen, is something she will know was hers.”
“I had drifted from all of it. Then Tihar came and I missed home so much it ached. Having a Family Priest who simply walked me through it, without judgement, brought me back.”
