The only constant in life I’ve realised is change. Nothing in reality is permenant except the moment we are living in. Every time we make a decision or take a step we believe it’s forever. In reality the play of luck, chance and destiny actually decides what’s going to carry on and what unknowingly topples off from our basket.
long 35 years back on this day I had steeped into wedlock with the prince of my dream and firmly believed that I’ve stepped into my ship for life. Sweet 16 years rolled on with pleasure and pain and the warmth of love and care. We were blessed with two lovely boys. But one fine day most unknowingly a huge storm struck us. As the kids were learning to survive and so was me their mother, destiny snatched the man of my life and the father of the boys away. We cried, we jittered, we sank but we rose. Life has never been the same for me again, but we learnt to sail.
Today as I look back, I perceive that every change in life comes with a reason. Perhaps the cushioned and secured life which we had would not have made us the warriors that me and my boys evolved to be. Harsh but true. I would never rise up to shoulder all pain of commitments as a parent alone if my efficient spouse would share everything. I also wonder if our boys would work this hard and sincerely if struggles did not emerge.
Our lives are what destiny had decided. But we are properly placed where we deserve to be.
