Thank You. Your words are precious gift for our family. <br />I would like to reveal more about my mother. She practiced “SERVICE” in her lifetime. I found this value imbibed in her. I am indebted for the same. She gave every opportunity to the family members - to be relieved from household work.<br />She was content and peaceful even in her last days. She never cribbed or complained for anything and was happy that my family was taking her care. <br />The miraculous happening was that every member of my family and elder brother’s family was present in the last moments of her life.<br />I was the only one to witness the last minutes. I even didn’t want to call others as I may myself miss the “life’s sunset” in calling others. I knew how the moments are fleeting and sun vanishes suddenly while watching sunset.<br />I find dignity in my mother’s death as she died at the age of 85 as a ripe fruit falls from the tree on its own. She was not on any medication - no pain killers and not even ordinary “crocin” or “paracetamol” and no hospitals.<br />I want to acknowledge that my mother’s last journey was fruitful because of family support. My wife played crucial role in handling her weak body and my kids took her care with reverence.<br />I am honoured that - you as a friend were sensitive and observant to our relation and have even written about it in your earlier blogs. Maybe you got connected with your mother as the existence is inter-connected with a mystical invisible thread of motherly love.Manjeet Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11983973601454449693noreply@blogger.com
