In this episode, I have my Uncle Raz and my brother, Krishna on to discuss the day our Baja (Grandfather) passed away. We talk about Aakha Chopi Narou Bhani, a beautiful and sad Nepali song by Narayan Gopal, helped our grandfather transition in his final hour.

This song was played often by my Grandfather on his Hawaiian slide guitar. We talk about the meaning and significance of this song and how it helped us cope with our loss. Uncle Raz, Krishna and my Grandmother were in the room when Baja (Grandpa) passed. We talk about what happened that week that brought us to that pivotal moment for all of us as a family.
