156. Absence makes the heart forgets....

I was trying to keep my feelings at bay. But when the invitation landed on my email, I couldn't control it anymore. The family that I thought I belonged to seem to have forgotten that I still do exist. Before writing it down here, I deliberated whether I have the right to be upset or not. And my conclusion remains, yes I have. During my years of working back home, I tried to be good to them. I tried to give them what they needed. The obvious need not be mentioned here. And this time, when I thought I should be part of their big day, I am conveniently forgotten. The worst part is, the newfound family seem to take center stage...I just hope she's really happy...and that the happiness should last.

155. Sickness

I am not a sickly person. At the most, I'd fall ill once in a year due to colds...that's all. But this year, I have been falling sick quite often. I have been sick almost every month and it puzzles me. This time, my daughter too fell ill immediately after me. We were both tired lying on the bed when it occurred to me how lucky am I to have someone to take care of us when I cannot do my regular duty as a wife and mother. My husband has been taking care of our every need from the time I feel ill last week till today. I thank God for His good health and I thank God for his generosity of time and self.
