Yesterday,happened to be both Nithya and my birthday.Yes, you read that right, we do share a common birthday and I promise you, that is coincidental!
It was a day of mixed feelings.The sheer number of wishes were so comforting.I have through what happened to us, discovered a whole lot of 'young' friends who have impressed me most. Most of them are Akhil's friends. The sheer sensitivity they display at their age is truly remarkable.I was touched by their warmth.From comments to 'Just have a great day,Akhil would have wanted it that way!' to a quiet wish.I am proud of each one of them.
That brings me to my mood swings,last year we had a special gift from Akhil.
He surprised us, by doing something very special,he booked tickets to a movie and dinner in a fine dine restaurant, that was all on him! He stayed back home to take care of his grand parents and his sister,not forgetting to have a party of their own, when we were out.
He was truly a special child!
Nithya and me did do a quiet lunch out, but I couldn't forget the last birthday, however much I tried, I knew I was irritable and edgy!
On another note, some good,we had filed a PIL form the Beyond Carlton Trust and the High Court issued notices to various parties to comply with enforcing laws and rules that exist. Hope this leads somewhere and we can make a small effort to prevent another family of going through what we have been through!
I spotted a quote on my friends Facebook status that was worth pondering over:
"There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from."
This is tough learning.
So, a mixed day.
Thanks again for the warm wishes!
