Peetambaram Rajan, 56, of Batticaloa, Sri Lanka, passed away earlier this week following a severe illness.
However, despite the fact that there don’t seem to be many details about Rajan’s life online, the reactions of people he left behind indicate that it was filled with love.
Not just for people, either.
Rajan was well-known for his love of animals, according to the Tamil Mirror. He was apparently visited daily by a neighbourhood grey langur, to which he would provide goodies.
But it seems that Rajan did more for her than just satisfy her hunger. He appeared to have affected her heart as well.
Rajan’s bereaved family gathered on Tuesday to pay their last respects after his departure; however, they were joined by an unexpected guest: the monkey he had become friends with in.
We must always remember that our emotions are a gift from our animal ancestors. Both humans and other animals have emotions. Grief is one of the many emotions that animals express unmistakably and eloquently.
