I really miss my grate granny. I was the most favorite grandchild of her. I am proud that she has blessed my son too.
My mom and dad is orthodoxy. Both of them were very strict towards what I wear, where I go, with whom should I speak and lot more. However, I was always protected by my great granny. She was so strong and of helping nature d that all of our relatives consult her in their difficulties. She was bit harsh speaking, but there should be someone in family like her.
Whenever, I go to meet her before going on vacation, she use to demand small things like Holi thread or photos of god/goddess. However, it was the last time she did not demanded anything. Infact, when I given her a sweater (blouse sweater, is specially made to wear with sari) to her, she refused to accept. She said, I do not need this, give this to someone needs it more. She was active till her last breath. She slipped in bedroom and that’s how we lost her. Then I realized why she refused to accept my gift. May be she has realized something and wanted to make me aware of it, but I was so fool.
We all miss her, she was the backbone of our family. May god fulfill all her wishes in heaven, same as she has fulfilled ours.
You are very lucky to have had this special person in your life. I believe that we all live as long as there is someone to remember us. She lives on in your heart <3
True Joanne!
