When someone questions me about my biggest fear in life, my instant reply which gives me goosebumps is ‘Fear of losing my loved ones‘. My body fails to respond with merely a thought about it.
Recently I read a beautiful saying ‘Parents are the only ones obligated to love you. From the rest of the world, you have to earn it‘.
This holds so true and the very next moment, a happy picture of my parents flashes in front of me like a bright shining ray of the morning sun.
When we were kids, my world used to revolve around two people – my mom and my dad. I was their entire universe and I remain their universe till date and this won’t change ever.
Now, my priorities have changed. There are moments when I have taken them for granted, believing that they are going nowhere. They have to take care of me forever and ever.
We feel that we have all the time in the world…But that’s not true!
Time waits for none! Neither for you, me, or anyone…
As a child, I saw my father as the pillar of the family who worked hard to earn bread and butter for us and used to be the strong man who saved us from all the storms that came our way. And mom was the homemaker who looked after all our needs and fulfilled every demand of ours with just a blink of an eye.
My smile was their smile and will always be. They made sure they gave me everything and I received all before I even demanded it. I was provided with every comfort and amenities, which I still cherish and they are treasures for lifetime.
Being married now, these beautiful souls can still understand how is my mood and what’s going in my mind on a phone call itself.
Only our loving parents can hold this magical power. How they do it!!!!
They always embraced me for the way I am. Without loading me with expectations, they kept me going with all their affection and heart.
Unlike the outside world where you disguise as a different personality to gain love and mark your existence.
Nothing is free on this planet except your parent’s endless, priceless love.
With mom and dad, you are where you don’t need to pretend or prove your presence.
Their time was always mine and still is, but sadly I never thought this way!!! And I regret it…
I never realized they get tired, they are turning fragile, they are losing their energy and are getting old… But now witnessing their grey hair and wrinkled skin, my emotional turmoil is unstoppable.
Being busy in my own life, I’ve forgotten that they deserve my time and attention too. I failed to sink in the hard-hitting fact that ‘Parents will age’.
Parents are the most selfless beings who don’t desire materialistic gifts but a simple love note, a call when they least expect it.
Expressing our gratitude more often by saying ‘I love you, Mom, I love you, Dad, are like the golden words, most precious to them.
It’s time to reassure them that what they did for us was the best and now it’s our turn to tune their lives and know them better. Spend more quality time with them, make them feel special a little more, hug them many times, and let them embrace a broader smile like never before.
Our parents are amazing souls who sacrificed almost everything to give us everything in life.
They always believed ‘Hamari khushi me he unki khushi hai’.
The fear of losing them is my biggest fear… I know this is a bitter truth of life but to accept it shivers me down the spine.
I love you Maa, Papa beyond worldly limits and I am indebted for life…
