Grow old with me, the best is yet to be – Post7

Had a long, tiring day today. One of our friends’ sister had been operated a few days back and while she was getting her bandage removed today, my friend fainted on seeing all that blood and puss, and had to be rushed to the casualty as she hurt her chin! Thankfully, there is no major injury and she is back home.  God bless!

We came back after dropping her home just now, and I logged into FB to ease myself.  I saw a message that Amma and Daddy had changed their profile pictures, actually added one for the very first time. I called them and it turned out that neither of  them knew the other had done it, and it is just so awesome that they had both added a pic of theirs’ together, and from the same trip too 🙂

I know it is nothing big, but somehow it brought out that much needed smile on my face 🙂 Whenever I see their mutual love and respect which has just grown stronger over the years, all I ask God is to let that stay so forever, and that Su and me grow old with each other  such beautifully too 🙂

Amma’s choice 🙂
Daddy’s this one 🙂

Do send out prayers for my friend.  It was just today morning that I was talking to  her on phone about a trip we had to make for a friend’s brother’s marriage next weekend, and here they say it will take 15 days for her to be healed completely.  Hope she gets well soon. Happy Sunday to all of you 🙂

  1. You know what , the ethos of your posts often makes one nostalgic. My regards to your parents …

    In the garden
    of my parent’s house
    was a tough guava tree
    next to a prajakta tree;

    A small cemented patch
    with a little tap
    to attach the water pipe.

    Early mornings
    would see a carpet of
    orange stemmed prajaktas
    on the slightly damp
    ground
    fragrant with wet mud,
    as some school kids
    walked to school,
    eyeing the guavas.
    And sometimes,
    someone would shake
    the prajakta tree,
    and the guava tree
    would look on proudly
    at the lovely flowers
    floating down to earth.

    So many children,
    coming by to wash
    feet,
    hands,
    jamun spots on pants,
    mud on frocks,
    all the while
    planning for the guavas
    and collecting the flowers,
    and both
    the guava and the prajakta
    trees,
    smiled,
    and grew old together,
    even as we children moved away…..

      1. After I write a post, I read it aloud once to see, if the post really conveys what I want to say….and most of the times I publish only if it is convincing to me.

        But for posts like this, or the post where u put up pics of the pickles sent by ur mom in ur blogo world name – those are the kind of posts which dont need any editing – the heart puts across the right emotions to be felt by the right ppl…..

        If u can understand what I wrote !!! 😉 Hugs. 🙂

            1. I’ve met you at Swarams and also on FB several times. It has been an experience tangling with vampires.

              Maybe its old age, (I’m getting on in years), but there seems to be a distinct change for the better in vampires ….)
