When we first began planning our trip back to India this year for my sister-in-law's wedding we decided we wanted to try to visit one of the places we'd tried so hard to get to in 2020 but were unable: Sri Harmandir Sahib, commonly known as The Golden Temple, in Amritsar.
I had wanted to make this trip for many years, and was so excited to finally be able to visit Punjab.
While we were in India, my father called me in tears from the US to tell me my uncle had passed away rather suddenly.
He had not been in the greatest of health, and we knew his health would continue to decline, but we thought we would get another year, maybe even two years with him.
It shook me pretty hard. I'd just been with them right before we left for India to help him get to one of his doctor's appointments.
This was also just the latest in a long succession of deaths in both our families and circles of friends in a rather short period of time.
I felt like the losses just kept coming, and this one took me very much by surprise.
I tried to hard to be my upbeat self while we were in Amritsar, I tried recording talking head bits and intros to the films I made there, but when I would watch back the footage I could see the pain bubbling up; my heart just wasn't in it, and I could tell.
After returning to the US this month, I had considered scrapping this and other videos I had planned, but when I watched this footage from the golden temple I remembered how I had found a measure of peace while we were there. I remembered how welcomed I had been made to feel, and how much being there that night had lifted me up.
I am ever so grateful to have been able to be there, because in retrospect it was a key point in being able to start healing, not just from this loss but from the others as well.
