Losing people in our life can be very tough especially our loved ones

Ambica's thread Walking Stick brought me here to write this post about my father and grandmother who both suffered with Cancer. I know I am not so good in narrating like Ambica but I will try to write in my own style. Each one have their own style of writing. So I will follow my style

Practice, practice, practice writing. Writing is a craft that requires both talent and acquired skills. You learn by doing, by making mistakes and then seeing where you went wrong.

Just when I finished my X Std my father was laid with Cancer. Those days there was not proper treatment for Cancer. First he went for Allopathy when no improvement, he went for Ayurvedic. Since I was at home he wanted me to look after him. Those days we did not have fan at home. We were in Hyderabad but we never felt the need for a fan. But since my father was not well I got a table fan from my friend's house. But he never used to like that and used to tell me to fan him. I did my best to look after him. But after suffering he left us and only satisfaction was that we all were near him when he died. Whatever I am today is because of his blessings only.

After 10 years after he died my grandmother got Cancer. She was my mother's mother. She had gone delivery of my sister in Delhi and after two months she got Cancer. She did not want to stay there and trouble them so she came back to us. She used to like my second brother very much and I as staying with him that time. So I could look after my grandmother. My mother also came as she was staying with my elder brother. I did all my best to take good care of her. But she also left us and told me that I will get a good husband and blessed me. I was so surprised when I got married my dh was from my grandmother's native place. With hers and God's blessing I got a gem of a person.

Just got this poem from google

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again."
~ Author Unknown

Not a second passes
When you're not on our minds
Your love we will never forget
The hurt will ease in time."

Thanks Yumna dear for your loving comments, you have made my day with your first fb and thanks for your appreciation for my writing style which gives me inspiration to write more.

 

Libra dear how are you? Sorry to know that my post brought tears. True our parents are always there blessing us and showing the right path. We would like them to be there always but how long. One day they have to leave the world. Thanks for your encouragement.

 

Manju dear thanks for your appreciation. Glad that it bought memories of your maternal grandparents. True we remember them when we make their favourite didshes or whenever we remember the advices they gave us for our good. True when we are teenagers we dont like their advices but later when we grow up only we understand why they had told us and try to follow their advices

 

Sandhya dear welcome to my thread. True dear it is very difficult to digest when we think of them. I agree with your views
