Dear Girija:

I wanted to clarify two things:

1. The reason I wrote that you (and I) will lose everything via death is to encourage you to live your life between now and death your way. Not your mother’s way. We can’t change the unsafety that is inherent to life, but we can make our lives better.

2. My mother and yours have a lot in common and I may have projected mine into yours when I wrote to you about not being able to help her. Please let me know what in what I wrote to you is not true to your situation, and what is true.
