The Unbearable Heaviness of Being: On the Passing of Naren Gupta (Part 9)

On Christmas morning, Dominique and I had breakfast in bed and watched a film on Charles de Gaulle. It specifically focused on how, as the French President capitulated to Hitler, General Charles de Gaulle went to Churchill to reverse that decision and keep fighting in World War II.

In an unorthodox, typically Churchill way, he was supported. One single man. A man with no country, as France had taken away De Gaulle’s citizenship. One man with no resources.

I always found it beautiful to hear him talk about his brother and how much he meant to him. How they went to Madagascar, just the two of them. One of their most recent trips was to go see polar bears in Canada. Just the two of them.

My father was repeatedly swindled by his brothers.
