We miss you Grand mom!

That day, 31^st august, 2013; mom came in my room and in a heartbreaking tone she ordered me to shut off the T.V. I probably knew the reason but never wanted that to come true. As soon as I entered my grand mom room she lost all her senses. Did I really lose her? Was she no more in this world? I stood there; unable to move myself and trying to believe the reality! Tears came from my eyes. Everything stood still for me. I wish she lived more. I cried in an empty room remembering each and everything she did for me.

My grandmother. More than a grand mom she was equal to my mom. I spent 19 years of my life with her. She pampered me like no one else and she probably had a hand in spoiling me and making me so stubborn. She used to tell me stories and sing lullabies every night to make me sleep till I turned 15. She would feed me at times when I had a row with my parents and she always fought with mom and dad to support me. She encouraged me even in studies and every time I used to achieve something or get good grades, I saw tears in her eyes.

She had the best childhood. She was born in a royal family. Her father was a doctor in the era where one cannot think of anything else but farming. She had bodyguards to protect her. She had everything a daughter would desire for. She left her studies at an age of 12 just to protect her little brother; not to make him realize that their mother had died. She was never selfish and could sacrifice anything for her loved ones. She was married to my Grand Dad who wasn’t so rich. At the tender age of 19, to come in a complete different family was not easy for her. Still she did everything to make her family happy and adjusted in her small world. My grand dad at an age of 50 had a major accident. He couldn’t earn after. There were days when she did not even have a penny to feed her children. Even in her toughest days of life, she never lost hope. She managed somehow everything because to her luck my father was the best son she got. She made my father educated enough to earn well. And then again she saw happiest times of her life during her sixties. Dad tried to gave her every luxury; because she had scarified so much for her children.

She lived life independently till age of 88. But to her fate last year in the month of July she felt ill. There was no possibility to recover from the diseases. We left everything up to God. On 31^st august 9 p.m. we lost her. For some days we couldn’t believe that she was no more in her room, no more pampering me, no more chanting bhajans. It’s been almost a year since we lost her. But there she is in form of a star, watching us, guiding us. We miss you :’(

If you have your grandparents staying with you, make them realize how important they are in your life because nothing more than grandchildren love can make them happy.
