Gift of Happiness


Gift of Happiness

She danced in the stage alone. Didn't bother whether anyone is watching or not . She did whatever made her feel happy. Her happiness could be seen on her face. Her eyes showed how much she was enjoying herself.

As her mother I could feel the same happiness inside me watching her happy. Without even getting up from my seat me too felt like I am dancing in the air and enjoying myself more than her . That day the party ended. We returned home late.

I knew my mom would be awake waiting for my call to inform her that we returned home safely. So I called her up to say that we have returned home safely but more than that I wanted to tell her how excited I was to watch my princess dance like an angel . As I shared my views and joy with my mom I could sense the same joy inside my mom. Even so far from me physically, I felt so close to
her. The joy of watching my daughter enjoying herself and sharing the experience with my mom connected all three of us in the same thread.

That night while going to sleep I tried to figure out what was the reason that made all three of us happy.
My daughter was dancing and enjoying herself, that made her happy. I watched her cute little dance steps and saw her happy made me happy, but what about my mom. The only reason I could figure out that made my mom happy was "my happiness" the same very reason which made me happy watching my daughter. To confirm my finding I tried to recollect the reasons which made my parents sad and happy in the past from my memory. Most of the memories which I could recollect involved either me or my elder sister.

My experience with my daughter for last 2 years made me realise that even if I am sad , a smile from my daughter make me forget my sadness. That day I realised that this doesn't only implies to me but it implies to all parents.

So friends if you are concerned about your parents and want them to be happy and proud first make yourself happy and proud . It will be the best gift you could ever give to your parents. Whatever the circumstances arises remember that you will be always loved by your loved ones for good and bad. Just be Happy. :)
