GRANDPARENTS -- A BLESSING

GRANDPARENTS - A BLESSING

A person mixture of coolness ,experience , power , Convincers , warmth , unconditional love , Crazy , kindness , saviours , full of sarcasm and what not adjectives to add for them.

The moment your parents get married, your grandparents look for child so that the house appears to be a complete family. And when you are born , they are the most happiest creature of this world right that moment. Happiness can't be defined for them at that instance. And they take care of each and everything when you cry , when you vomit , when you piss. Actually more worried than your own parents. And then you start crawling on your feet , you try to stand on your legs and walk. All those moments are never missed by them. They capture each pie in their heart.

And they play a similar role to your mother actually. Because they are the constant SUPPORTERS. Because whenever a fight occurs between parents and you , the only person who is savage appears to be them.
It doesn't matter whether you are right or wrong. They are always there to motivate you , encourage you when you feel low. Vacations are the best time when you get to visit their house.They teach us never to give up in any situation. They always recite their past stories and we listen so fascinatingly. And the most luckiest are the ones whose grandparents live along with them. They are the source of ENERGY.

AS WATER IS NECESSARY FOR A PLANT TO GROW, SIMILARLY AN OLDER PERSON IS OBLIGATORY FOR US TO GROW IN A RIGHT DIRECTION.

There was a small boy named David, who used to live with their grandparents and his father. His mother used to live at a different place due to her job. So ,he was more attached to his grandpa and grandma. They were first parents and god for him. The schedule from his waking up from school to the homework at night, was incomplete without them. And even her grandma used to pamper him a lot . She always used to feed with her hands to him, without missing any day. Day by day this bond became stronger. One day he felt sick, grandma prayed a lot for him and she believed in superstitions. So carried some activities in name of God so he could recover soon. He got fine in few days. As days passed , David grew up and he had to go out of the state for his job purpose. Their grandparents never showed their grief. But as soon as he left , they cried in pain. They felt as if 1 hour seemed to many months. The house for them was never so empty before as it appeared now for them. David used to call them regularly as he also missed their company a lot. David lived in a room alone so something haunted him daily. It was the bad dream. He used to see a dream where his god (grandparents) left him and went forever. He used to get so afraid. This incidents repeated many times with him and left him frightened. 

He then frequently tried to visit them as he got chance. He tried to create beautiful memories with them. He realised that nobody in this universe can stay forever with you. He accepted the truth and kept them as happier as he can. He knew that one day they are definitely gonna leave him and this news will break him apart.

I'm sure somewhere you also would have been gone through this situation where you felt this haunting dream.

But though in some families, grandparents are treated bad and not given respect that they deserve. Their own sons leave their old parents to the old age homes. They are treated as burden. They ignore them as they are not a part of family. If any outings are planned , they are not included in that. Because they have grown old and considered as they have lost interests in having fun. Some people don't take them due to their shyness as if they feel insulted when they walk by side with them. 

According to a research conducted at Lucknow, More than half of the inhabitants of old age homes were suffering from one or other mental health problems. Depression was the most common mental health problem.This is not the way you treat to the person who gave us the utmost . Who sacrificed many things which neither we noticed nor we are aware of. Make them a part of your each activity.

SPARE SOME TIME FOR THE ELDERS WHO LEFT NO STONE UNTURNED FOR YOUR GOOD SAKE. MAKE THEM HAPPY.
EVEN SMALL MOMENTS CAN MAKE THEM SMILE MANY HOURS.

IN THIS AGE , THEY JUST NEED YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION. THEY NO LONG DESIRE  AND EXPECT MATERIALISTIC THINGS FROM YOU.

Ask a question to yourself.
DID YOU EVEN OFFERED YOUR HAND TO YOUR OLD WRINKLED SKIN GRANDPARENTS, WHO DEVOTED WHOLE OF THEIR SOUL FOR YOU?? 

IF NOT ,START FROM TODAY!! 

A TREE IS INCOMPLETE WITHOUT ITS BRANCHES. AND THUS, VICE VERSA THAT ALONE BRANCHES CAN'T HOLD UP SUCH A BIG TREE. HOPE SO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I WANT TO RELATE.
