“Mom my lesson says that
Father, Mother, brother and sister makes a family; is it true?” asked 8 year
old Rohan innocently.
“This is one of the way we
look at a family dear, but there are many more” answered Deepa entering the details in register.
She added, “When there no
negative intentions against each other, where no justification is required for
our actions, where only love and understanding lingers everywhere and a mere
dream of departing from them gives a haunting impulse.”
“Is it mom? Now I understood
what a family means then I have surely an extensive family with me” Rohan said
confidently who was feeling abandoned before this conversation.
Phone rang and Rohan took
leave of his mother and Deepa answered the call saying “Hello, ‘Grow Gracefully
Old Age Home’ I am Deepa the assistant caretaker”.

It would be nice to think that there were more Old Age homes that had staff with this attitude of mind. She gave wonderful advice to her young son let's hope he remembers it
ReplyDeleteI so agree with her that family is far more inclusive than the traditional model of parents and children. I have those who I consider family, connected not by blood by our hearts, and I love them dearly. I think the people who reside at this care home are very lucky to have her watching over them, and her son will grow up to understand much about life!
ReplyDeleteLovely is Ms. Deepa. How blessed are her son and the people in her care.
