I'd been to my friend's place to surprise her but I was surprised when I din't find her at home.
Her grandmom was alone and she told me that my friend had been out for some work. She looked at me with teary eyes and said, "Beta, you keep coming here. Your friend's parents are not here and i'm all alone. I have no one to talk to"
I smilingly nodded.
She continued "Where's your mom?"
"She's at home"
"Get her along the next time you come. Come on Sunday, at least I'll have company, else time is so difficult to pass. I can't sleep all night. I'm so scared in this big house that I can't go from one room to another alone. Keep coming, after her parents return, I'll send her to your place also" and she continued weeping.
I wished I could help her in some way, may be talk to her or try to make her smile but I thought listening to her was the best at that time.
She reminded me of my grand mother. I was one and a half years old when we lost her. My mom tells me stories about her, about how I'd hold her ghaghra and walk slowly behind her. How I used to scare my mom saying, "Work properly, else I'll tell daadi"
Many of us would be living with our grandparents and many of us would have lost them. All we have are memories of the days when they poured all their love on us ignoring their children. This is not just with regards to our grandparents but our parents as well. They do everything possible for our happiness and a lot of us try to return happiness to them. Parents to us, mean a lot more than words could ever express. Their prominence in our lives is profound. When I tried to put that into words, this is the best way I could frame it in...
Our Wealth is to see them Smile.
It fills us with Pride when we Touch Their Feet.
The Everlasting Happiness is when we Hug Them.
Our Timeless Peace is when we rest our Heads in Their Laps....
They are Our Treasure!!
To all the Parents and Grandparents.
May god bless them all!
Cheers!
God Bless!!
