Feeling of togetherness after months

The memorable time spent with family, for the family and with the family can never be replaced with any important event. Especially when our children are in different places and just make a visit once a while, imagine the happiness.

Infact, it was a real surprise when my son and daughter decided to make a sudden visit to our place. My son is staying in a hostel and studying an undergraduate course in Business Administration, which is far away from our place and my daughter after completing her engineering degree is working in another place. She is staying as a paying guest with a family.

Both of them decided to make a surprise visit this weekend. To our surprise, both of them came home, but at different timings So they planned together and made the visit. To our surprise it was one of the most beautiful moment.

The monotonous environment will be gone for two days. Usually me and my husband has no much to talk. May be because we are under the same roof looking at each other for years . Yes, that's the truth. The more we try to share something, it will end up in arguments. Sometimes I think it's better to remain silent than to share the thoughts. So sometimes its painful when you don't have anyone to share your thoughts. Here, I find a great solace in read.cash atleast some thing interesting to read from the readers community and explore your thoughts by writing.

Though my another son is here with us, he is busy either with his phone, laptop or his studies. He is pursuing his degree in electronics. He leaves home by 7.00 a.m. and is back at 5.00 p.m. He was also equally happy to see his siblings and had great fun with them. No laptops, no mobiles just playing guitar and exchanging interesting stories and having fun, the three of them. Years before, the three some when being together either makes fights or all of them preferred to be in their own world. But now its like a celebration for them when they get to meet each other after months. Such is the strength of relationships.

As it was a family gathering after two months, we decided to have dinner out, that was yesterday night. Children were getting ready with their best attires to leave the home. Immediately there was a heavy downpour of rain. But anyway that did not stop us from the joyous outing. We decided to wait for the heavy rain to subside. Finally after an hour we left for the restaurant which is an hours drive from our home. Infact, it was a treat from my little angle who has grown up to get a job by Almighty's grace.

The ambience we had in the restaurant was really great. There was a Turf attached to the restaurant and football match was going on in full swing. My sons had a wonderful time watching the match. This is being clicked from the roof top of the restaurant.

We were busy browsing and ordering from the Menu card . The waiters were very friendly giving their best. First came the starter ie., the chicken pops and hot n sour soup. It was very spicy.

Here comes the platter next. A variety of chicken with Naan (an Indian form of bread) . Very delicious but quite expensive for our budget. But then it was once in full moon that we go for such expensive foods. We enjoyed along with children.

The rain is still continuing till today morning. It's being adamant of not stopping. Despite the heavy rain, my son left for his hostel by early in the morning. As its a day's journey he left early by 6.00 a.m. By noon he reached his place by Almighty's grace, as his regular classes are to resume by tomorrow. My daughter will be leaving by tomorrow early in the morning.

Closing thoughts

When we are young and the children are small, may be school going children, we forget to hug, forget to pat or forget to appreciate small happiness that they bring home. Not our fault, its just because we are tired in the so-called busy schedule. This small happiness children bring home should always be seen and appreciated. Because once they are grown up and are away from us, these are things definitely bring tears when looking back. Because once they are far away from us even when we feel like being with them or vice versa, it is not possible.

So make the best use of your time with your family especially with the kids. I am writing this from my own experience. Because I was a working mother then, who gave very less time to kids. Now I force them to stay for one more day with me, but they can't, either due to education or due to job.

Thanks for your time. Your valuable comments are appreciated.
