Forever grateful

I am blessed with the best in life!!

When I felt alone; I was blessed with the best companion I could ask for!!

To my chaos, he became my anchor!!

To my mess, he became my comfort zone!!

To my rebuilding, he became my corner stone!!

To my overthinking, he became my calmness!!

To my pain, he became my joy!!

To my anxiety, he helped me breathe through it!!

To my difficulties, he became sacrificial!!

To my doubts, he became my clarity!!

To my struggles, he became my confidante!!

To my travels, he became my next seat!!

To my adventures, he joined hands!!

To my life, he became my partner in crime!!

And my little one suddenly has filled in such big shoes!! And just the thought of him growing up fills me with pride and happiness and a mixed pang of pain that he grew up too fast!! And I missed his childhood in the struggle to build a life!!

But he’s the kindest, gentlest, mature and understanding kid anyone could ever get!! I can’t stop gushing about the immense blessing he has been!!

Broken Family

People always refer to kids of single parents as kids from “broken homes”.. Every-time I hear the term, it brings a pang of pain since that’s the reference for my son too!!

A broken home is a home that has no peace.. a single parent home is a home that has chosen peace over the contemporary notion of family because you know that the best thing you can do for your child is give them the peace and love they deserve!!

A broken home is a distorted place.. it’s a place that’s filled with chaos and loudness!! And it’s seldom there in a single parent house.. it definitely has its share of chaos but overall there’s laughter and a sense of security!!

The world around makes the child grow up in an environment that keeps pointing out that s/he is growing up in a wrong space since there’s one parent absent.. The kid probably would never have felt anything missing in their lives until people keep repeatedly pointing it out to them..

To make the “broken” house not so broken, it needs everyone around to tie their hands in support of such parents.. they’re trying real hard to do a two person job single handedly, so if you can’t support that endeavour, atleast don’t pour water on their efforts!! Their kids are their main reason to keep them afloat, don’t destroy their self-esteem..
