I finished my hectic work schedule today and boarded the bus, when my mobile beeped alerting me of an sms.. It was from,Jo my niece who had sent the sms to remind me to write in my blog, she said she misses talking to me, and through the blog,she gets to know what goes on in my head...Its quite funny, that today my blog has become my expression.
I share a beautiful relationship with her. I find lot of strength in her, now that she is the mother of two wonderful kids. I find her enjoying her motherhood just as I did. The kids are going to grow and before long will have their life to lead. It is only these moments when they are so dependent on you that you need to be with them and thrive in sharing the togetherness.
Being a mother, was my only identity. I enjoyed every bit of it, when nimi and simi were small ,when mohan was alive, and even after he left us, playing the roles of both dad and mom. It was tough sometimes, but inspiring all the same.
I think children are very observant of their parents. They imbibe values from them and live. If you have lived your life well, be rest assured your children will too. So, as the saying goes, Life is simple if you let it be....
I enjoy watching Jo's children, Mythri and Vivaan as they are growing. It is nice to see acceptance in Mythri of her brother. We find sibling rivalry in most homes, where the elder child gets jealous of the younger sibling, seeing all the attention they get. But I am happy to see that Mythri acts like a parent herself.
I am waiting to see, nimi and simi as mothers, wondering how they will tackle their life with children. But deep inside I know that they will be wonderful parents ,when they choose to have their own kids.
Thinking about all this, I didnt realise my bus had already reached my stop and I jumped outside....
Such is life....
