Yes it’s exactly two decades back on this day did destiny set me single . It felt like as if the heavens came crumbling down and I was drowned in an ocean of uncertainties.
Till that day I was a pampered ever appreciated , hand held wife of a gentleman beyond measure. I chose my priorities as being a mom first and then a professional. What I earned and how I spent was my fancy. My two sons were my greatest assets and life hovered around giving them a fruitful and upright life. Living was something I never thought of. It was so much taken for granted that finances, utilities and basics of life would always be flowing in for with blissful certainty.
That jolt on the 3rd of September 2004 suddenly made me realise that nothing in this world is as per plans. It’s absolutely true that “destiny is what happens while you are busy planning other things”
Stroke of a thunder the ground slipped off below my feet. I was groping in the dark with glittering dreams all around my children. I asked myself shall I be able to hold my boys to the shores of their dreams? Never for a moment did I care if I was hungry, tired or insecure. All what I did was to pursue a life to realise that single dream.
Now two decades since then, I see two good humans perusing lives they deserve. I am thankful to the unseen for everything I got on my platter. However, sometimes I ask myself, Is this the best I deserve?
As age advances, other insecurities surface. Life has taught me to be happy and complete in myself. Some souls are born to be towers of courage in the forest of life till a storm bigger than ever wipes them out.
Up until life takes a turn beyond control, I can only hope, pray and confess that never did I knowingly harm any soul nor felt negative vibes for any growing one.
Sailing in the unknown sea has been entrusted on us, so be it till life parts.
