The countdown ends today since Vishal will be home tomorrow
morning and we are more than happy for that.
We attend ladies club every Wednesday, kinda small get together where we play games, cards and enjoy snacks. Aaru enjoyed playing
with his friends in the club garden and had good time too. He is also happy and proud for me winning the 2nd prize in "one minute game".
One remarkable question he asks me while he is
doing home work this late evening. Here how it goes:
Maa : Aaru, please finish Home work quickly so can
go to bed little early as Maa feeling tired and sleepy.
Aaru : Maa, you can sleep. I will finish my work
and switch off all lights before I sleep.
Maa : No problem dear, I shall read and wait until
you finish.
Aaru take a pause and says : Maa, why is that, that the mother cares for
her child sooooo much?
Oohh, I cuddled him up and kissed on his cheeks. I hold him to close his eyes and then tells him
a story I once read.....(a sweet answer to his sweet question.)
You know Aaru, There was a smallest baby who
was living with God up there in heaven. One day God says that it’s the time to send the baby in the world, where he will learn and grow big. The baby gets scared and gloomy with this news. He never wants to leave God and his home. He says, God I do not know anyone there and how will I live there without God.
God smiles at his innocence and tells him that
there is nothing to be scared about. God has assigned one angle who shall take care of him throughout his life. Who will always understand him and give him
endless love and affection. Baby gets happy and gets agree to take birth in this
world.
When the baby was lying in his mother’s lap for the first time, God appears and tells him that "My boy you are in safe hands now and the lady holding you is none other than
the angle I have sent. She knows all exactly how to take care of you." And God leaves the baby with the mother.
The story ended but Aaru kept on smiling for long time. I guess he was imagining himself as the baby and me as his angle. And the question series starts here. Maa that means you are my angle? and that you have promised God to take care of me always?. He says now he knows the fact of his arrival in our family and he was happy that God gave him the best angle. I am glad and proud to hear this. I said Yes, I am your angle my little prince and I winked at him.
Really, Mothers are the angles sent by God. She has the softest of the heart. She happily sacrifices or at times give up her career to be a full time mother.
Her world revolves in her children and family. She fulfills her duties and
responsibilities without any complaints. All she needs is some love, some
attention and some appreciation.
I am so proud to be your mother Aaru. Maa loves you so much!!!
I miss 'you' my Angle. My mother. I would try to be as sweet angle as you
are. And I pray you live a long life b'coz I still need you and I always will.
Stay Happy, Stay Bless !
Keep smiling, Keep loving!
Keep smiling, Keep loving!
Snehal :)
