Grandmother a bundle of memorable joyful moments

The beauty of the memorable past transcends the thought through wonderful moments, which I was fortunate to go with my grandmother. Walking me through the childhood adolescent days, bearing my innocent childish pranks with love and care, she filled my heart for me to see the guardian angel she was.
Like guardian angels in heart never vanish, I wish this tribute to be a narrative for all grandmothers of this beautiful earth who have blessed the family with words of wisdom, love and compassion for all to cherish happiness life. Let this portrayal recall a self’s wonderful moment with their loving grandmother every moment in life to happy. This memorial, a communication goes beyond the mourning of the past the ritualistic way. Further than, the materialistic objects she gifted and emotional attachments to her belongings she has left, I value more than anything else in this world, the goodness she had planted in my heart to grow. Today that wonder has grown to blossom for all in my family to enjoy and the friends we have to relish.

Grandmother, a beautiful creation of God was born in a farm, may be like the Lord, in her tiny peacock farm house, more of barn those days. She used to tell me that, as a child she played with her elder brother in the farm. As per the lifestyles of olden times, she grew up learning to do chores. Those where the years, when the family members, were every close to each other spreading the positive energy of warmth, of togetherness. Of course, the visit to the church, the sanctum of the Lord, on Sundays was their strength and inspiration to hold on to the moral values of ethics in life.

Getting back home inspired after the visit to the church, the culinary experts in the family got together to start cooking for the Sunday’s sumptuous dinner. Special care was taken to dish out the favorites of everyone in the family satisfying their taste buds and fulfilling the palate. This sense of attentiveness out of love held the family bondage stronger. Enough time was found to communicate with each to understand each one’s feelings giving wonderful textures to beautifully woven fabric of family relationships.

The gatherings were always big creating an exciting noisy environment. Spirit of holidays was strictly adhered to, which re-charged the energy spent on hard work for the past six days to flourish, and preparing all to receive the coming week with renewed energy. While in the spirit of holidays and relaxation, the need to feed hungry animals alone was taken care with compassion.

Nearly 80 years of life had given my grandmother a lot of rich experience. She lived through to see and enjoy it which she passed it on to us as a beautiful narrative and storytelling. Living through the hard times of World War I as civil war of depressive state was also shared to us as an experience to understand what could real hardships be in life. Later when her life had to be in the period of World War II, her marriage by God’s grace gifted her marital bliss. This she explained in her usual beautiful style, saying that life sometimes teaches in wonderful ways of knowing when hardship and bliss come in a single package in life, then our respects for human values increases. Her life also saw the technological progresses at great speed. Starting with the coming of electricity supply to the house to energies gadgets, airplanes to transport, architecture providing luxury of bathrooms, supply of water inside the home, human form landing and walking on the moon as astronauts, for the first time are a pretty long list of stunning wonders to happen in her lifetime. Unfortunately her lifetime had also to see through two more unpleasant wars, that of the Korean and Vietnam. To enrich her life’s experiences grandmother never missed the opportunity to travel and do holidaying to three foreign countries.

This narrative a presentation may not become full if I do not mention grandmother’s enthusiasm to keep all the people in the family in joy with her lovable presence by taking them for shopping spree with her and to the exquisite lake house. My grandmother is a bundle of joy to remember along with her contagious pure laughter and love which kept the word of unkindness at bay. The beautiful core essence of my grandmother is, she wanted a happier family, and she achieved it creating a refined one. She was an angel born in our family to bless and make us feel the beauty of true love and compassion.
