Of Random Thoughts
I had stopped writing for the last couple of days... I realised that there was some deep thinking going on inside me... and that resulted in my having mixed feelings about what to write about. In the last two days, I have realised a number of small things ... but these small things have an impact so great on my life that I thought I would share them. So that, if any of you should observe that these elements appear in your lives too, then we truly have something to be grateful for:
- when you have a really hard day at work and you know that home is just 15 minutes away and that as soon as you enter your home, you are greeted by the loving arms of your mother who understands all as she holds you while you hug her in silence.
- when you are pressed for time, your every effort in spending even the slightest amount of time with your folks is greeted with patience and a loving gaze.. for there is an implicit understanding that you are only doing your best to make ends meet.
- when you have one (or more) people who love you unconditionally for just being you. These are friends who are there for you when you need them and even when you don't. They are there to share your happiness and sorrows alike and want nothing from you except, that you let them be there.
- when you share moments of such hearty laughter with your parents that each of you is teary-eyed to the point where nobody seems to remember what triggered the giggles in the first place. And it doesn't matter!
- when you have a fit of anger triggered from a matter at work or otherwise and you let it out on your family in frustration, you are still warmly taken care of and respected all the same by your family. They eagerly await for the lifting of the mist so that they are assured that you are okay.
- when your sadness or disappointment is clearly written all over your face but it is known that you would rather not talk about it. Your silence is respected and you are given the space you need.
- when you are about to just breakdown due to the pressures around you and suddenly out of nowhere, your family is there to help you through in ways that you could never fathom. They do it just so that you are spared the difficulty of braving your storm alone.
- when your family is there to sacrifice for you time and time again in the different ways that it does, despite having performed their sacrifices for years on end for the duration of your life. So that you always experience happiness and constant support. A sense of giving that is SO selfless.
I hope that my family too can feel the weight of my support, the strength of my shoulders to shoulder their burdens, my big heart so that there is ample room to share in their every happiness or sorrow, and my hands, that shall always rise in service to them whenver they need me.
