Dear Editor,
I was very touched by the letter from Christopher Ram in which he so eloquently reminisced on the feelings he and his family felt over the passing of Pops, their gardener.
In this rapidly changing world where so much negativity pervades the atmosphere, it is refreshing to be reminded that there are still gentle folks like Pops. They go about their daily lives with so much simplicity, honesty, contentment, loyalty and dignity even in the face of adversity.
As a young boy growing up in my village, I experienced the love and nurturing of several such people. They had an unbreakable love for the land and even though they had very little, they were so willing to share with others. Such people are the unsung heroes of our society. They remind us of all that is good and noble in society.
Yours faithfully,
