Me and Mine

It’s tough to talk about yourself. Especially in black and white for all the world to see. And what can I say anyway? That I’ve been lucky to have been born into a wonderful loving family? That I think I have the greatest parents in the world? That I went on to finding the best husband I could have ever wished for? That my life felt so complete when I held my baby daughter in my arms?

She’s 16 today and maybe in a way I’ve started writing this because I know that soon, I’ll have to let her go her own way. My brilliant Mensan daughter so full of life and love and laughter. They say if you truly love someone, you’ll let them go. I hope I can because I truly do.

In between there were great schooldays, a wonderful university life where I sailed through my graduation and post-graduation with nary a care in the world. There was so much travelling – something I still love! There were twelve wonderful years in advertising. And there were my friends – they are all over the world today but that’s where the Internet has proved to be such a boon. Because they’re just a click away. Toronto, Auckland, New York, Chicago, London, neighbouring Bombay – in the virtual world, the miles just melt away.

It feels good to see and know about the happy family that you have got. Not everyone is so lucky like you that wishes everything and get it in the same way. Anyways, take care of your daughter and husband. Love them as i know you really love them so much.. :)

I’m seventeen and starting to apply for colleges. Trust me, your daughter is scared of leaving home, too! But I know that I will always love my mother and simply could not live without her guidance and support. Don’t think of it as an end- it’s just a new chapter. Cliche? Definitely. But these sort of moments usually are. :)

You seems to be luck with lovely daughter and husband as you blessed by the God. I have also a daughter and a son without whom once I could not think of to live. Now my son is now in USA with his love. I am the old fellow here alone without any charm except the internet.
