I have been trying put into text the thoughts that go through my mind when I think of the number of chances life has given me and the ultimate -only one !
I escaped a tragic accident when I was 13 years old, a breaking up age when reality starts pinching you. My parents thanked God for my second life; I wondered why they thanked someone who was invisible instead the doctors deserved all the credit.
At teens, 16 a “know it all” age group, reality pinched me a little harder when I fell short with academics. My sister lifted me up and said let me help you with your books and your strengths. My parents thanked God for the love they saw in between the siblings; I contemplated why they thanked God when they actually have to reward my sister for her kindness.
I was 20 and a working proficient, the typical idea of choosing my man heaped! I was a very happy going jolly girl until I realized I couldn’t succeed in wining a relationship. I succumbed to complex and feeling ill about myself. I couldn’t focus on my professional life, a feeling that a disaster has struck me and I have no means to run away. An angel, my friend pulled me up saying I ought to have the best in life; a few words and a change in lifestyle re-energized me in few months time. Once again I saw my parents thanking God for the wonderful friends I had. I was upset why they didn’t show their appreciation to my friends’!
Time flew my sister was married and settled, I turned 24 years. Marriage was on the cards; I had given up and gave the responsibility to my parents. A typical Indian wedding and I loved it! Fabulous food, expensive clothes and jewels, fun filled families and a very warm responsive soul next to me. I couldn’t have asked for more I said…tears rolled my mom’s cheeks and my parents thanked God for my second life once again. This time I spoke to them and asked them why second life and all the time they thanked God when I was constantly supported by amazing people!
A reply with excellence from my dad, every parent gets to choose their child, but no child gets to choose its parents and that is first chance. It is the second chance for every human when they choose the person they want to spend the rest of their years. Life is a stage and we play different characters, it is always the actors, the play and the stage that gets the praise; the leader of the play is awarded at last. We first need to thank the director for his guidance and patience and the trust owed on us. We are responsible for our happiness and sorrows it is divinity that gives us strength to balance both.
My stage hasn’t shaken up, all the actors are performing well and today after 15 years of marriage, blissful with 2 children, I thank the almighty for all that I am showered with. Life always doesn’t give you a second chance, thank the ones who have created the difference in your life and never fail to remember to thank the leading light of our lives!
