What I learnt today…
Unconditional love…

My mom has been unwell from mid June 2022. Its just a lot of health stuff that is continuously pulling her down. She has been in the hospital, in the ICU for quite sometime and is really not being able to bounce back.

All this has been weighing a lot on me and my family. To see a parent who has always been healthy and active and now so frail and lost is truly difficult.
Mom has always been my support, my constant companion and my everything. This phase has made her completely give up all her wishes, desires and hopes. Also, whenever I would meet her, she would not talk or connect with me, but just lie and not want to do anything.

Till today, yes! Finally today, when I went to see her, she was lying down as usual. But when she saw me, I felt a shine in her eyes. She was constantly looking at me. I was really taken aback, but loved this. Then as I was just chatting with her to entertain her, she gently took my hand, kissed my palms and very sweetly and lovingly kept caressing my hands. This was what my mom loved doing whenever I would meet her. Gently keep caressing my hair, my head and make me feel so peaceful.

Wowwww…
I just was so taken aback and happy. The first thought was ‘My Mom’s back’…
I lovingly hugged her. This action of mom’s filled my heart with warmth and my eyes with tears of love and joy. How I was missing this soft touch of my mom…
Our parents are our love, our joy , our life.
Nothing can compare with this simple but the world’s most beautiful feeling of getting our parents care and love. I am still tearing up as I am writing this blog.
Here’s to all the loving and lovely parents and to all the beautiful children,
May we all keep giving and receiving from each other this magic in our blissful relationship that is unconditional love…
