Happy Valentine's Day for Grandma!
Born 1994, F, from Galle, Sri LankaThe little girl, liya, ran to where her mother and father were. She lay back on mother's lap and started sucking her thumb. Father was busy with his business partner. The whole house had a look of festivity.
"I will invite my all business partners to the Valentine's party" liya's father said excitedly.
"Ok boss" mother smiled and she bowed her head.
Father decided that his party decorations should be red. His decorative methods were excellent.
The telephone suddenly began to ring. Liya's mother answered the call.
"Hello... Happy Valentine's day mummy!! What? Oh...no no sorry... We can't come. Very busy. Ok mummy I'll call you later. Bye!"
Liya felt bad about what happened. She was sad about her grandma, because her mother was treating her grandma carelessly. Grandma lived alone in village. Liya despite her grouchy mood and managed to smile.
Liya's mother hurried to go to the mall to buy gifts. She called back to her daughter.
"I'm coming mom. .!!" Liya said to her mother as she went barreling down the stairs.
The drive to the local mall was difficult in heavy holiday traffic. Liya looked out the window and saw a very colourful town.
"Mom. . Are you buy anything to grandma?"
"Ya. .sure! It will be a special gift"
"What?" Liya rolled her eyes towards to mother.
"Photo album"
"Why?"
"She always remember us. So, I decided the our picture album to give her. It will useful to her"
Liya's mother who does not understand her mother's loneliness. They finally found a parking space. A sudden breeze blew, some leaves off a tree on to the side walk. The sun was hidden away by a grey blanket. They knew that it was going to shortly. So, they hurriedly went to the mall. The sweet fragrance of rose and tulips filled the air.
"What are you searching liya?"
"I'm searching a gift for you mom"
Mother gave liya's chin a little tickle and said,
"So sweet my child. You are the best gift l have ever had in my entire life. Stay with me forever. That's enough for me.
Liya took a photo album and said,
"I bought it for you mom. When you grow old, like grandma. Then, you will miss me. So, I thought. Did you like it?"
Mother was shocked to hear this. As mother was doing her shopping she thought about her daughter's words. She tried to think what the liya could mean. She was troubled at her words. Liya's mother realized her mistake and her eyes welled up with tears.
She called to liya's father and said,
"I'm planning to bring my mummy here. So, now I'm go to my village"
(Valentines Day is not just for lovers. While we celebrate Valentines Day appreciating those we love, we also should take time for ourselves and appreciate where we are in life.
Look around you and appreciate those who care about you. People who you feel affection and a fondness for. Be thankful they are in your life. We all need to feel love. That is a human need that all of us have.
Call your mum or your dad, or that someone who made a difference in your life. Thank them for caring about you. It is amazing the feeling that someone gets when someone makes the time and expresses their appreciation for them. We sometimes take for granted the people that we are closest to and we don't tell them how much they mean to us. Make the time and tell them!
We should do this everyday not just on Valentines Day, but it is a good reminder for us to think of this saying.
Enjoy your day. .!! Happy Valentine's day to all. .!!)
