Contact: goaengineer...@aol.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goa's Very Own First Goan Swine Flu Victim Swine Flu devours it's first Goan victim, a happy family of four, father, mother, son and daughter, shattered and devastated. She was the heartbeat of the family, a loving daughter to her parents, a loving and affectionate sister to her brother and a well loved and liked young girl buy the villagers. While the whole village is grieving, we can now only pray for comfort and strength for the family and a heavenly abode for Diana. A visit to her cousin's place in Margao was all the bubbly young girl had done and death was the price she paid. Diana, I knew her from her birth, as her mother was a next door neighbour, saw her grow up into a bubbly young lady, full of life and ever smiling, her's was the first house coming into our village and most often than not, on my visit back home, would be greeted by her smiling face and a courteous and respectful "hello uncle". Or a wave of her arm from the balcony of her house. Diana's passing away will not only be a loss to her family, but to the entire Nuem community, she was full of life and cheer, very hard working, always respectful towards the elders and ever smiling. Such a young girl, crudely done in by what we call destiny, we have no answers to the why's and how's, all that we know is, a good young girl has been taken away from us. We will certainly miss you Diana. When she fell sick the whole village had visited her at the Chinchinim hospital, people and relatives kept on visiting her even after it was confirmed that she had Swine Flu, the whole village prayed together for her recovery, but if was not to be so, she was called back to her heavenly abode in the her prime of her life. Nearly every day calls were made by our villagers from here in the UAE and were told that she was improving and responding and were indeed happily praying for her full recovery, then on Sunday at 8:45, I received a call saying that Diana was no more, I just went blank and silent, how could this happen ? Just the night before I had spoken to her cousin at the hospital and was told that she was improving, the news paper reports too had said the same. The day after her death there were reports in the press that she did not respond to any treatment from day one, so how come there were conflicting reports in the news papers ? This unfortunate incident has indeed shaken our community and it will take a long time for the sighs to turn to laughter, and may her death bring the once happy, united community even closer in this tragedy, Adeus dear Daian, see you up there, some day.
