I was unwell for the past 2 days. I myself could not understand what was happening within me. Usually when I was unwell, mom asked me so many times”kanna enna ma achu?” I used to hug my mom when I was not okay. So she knows immediately that I am not okay. She knows that I am not a better person in explaining the discomforts and so she would ask all the symptoms like a doctor. Sometimes from the love that she has given me I have even forgotten the next day that I was unwell. Especially when I get to work I forget to eat even if she had asked me to eat any medicines. She used to call me and ensured that I ate everything properly and asked plenty of times if I was okay.
Now, when I am very far away from my beloved mom, sometimes it’s very hard to explain things over the phone. Whenever I have felt low, my sister cracked jokes and made me laugh. Many things like this remind me many instances where mom, dad & darling sis have taken care of me like a princess. I miss them a lot.

My dad always called me princess….When I was living with my parents, my work place was very far away from our home. So usually it was like 8:30 P.M when I was back from work. I will be so tired that I get into the bedroom immediately and would lie down to get some rest. Dad always bought a big 1.5 litres bottle of Maaza and a packet of Lays to kill my unbearable hunger before I ate the dinner.

The other day when I went to buy groceries with my husband, he bought me a Maaza tetra pack. My eyes were full of tears and I was very happy when he told that he understands how much I missed my dad.
