Taking two toddlers to playground, means having no time for anything else. They both run in different directions. They both want to do different activities. And they both demand your support! While managing them, I saw another child who looked much smaller than them. She was asking her mother to go back, as soon as she saw me. I went upto her and asked, if she wanted to play. Or before me, my daughters started asking me that they wanted to say hello to the baby. So she asked me, how old are they and I told her my children’s age. Then I looked at her daughter and before I could guess, she said with a sad tone, she is almost of this age but she lags growth. She is a heart patient and has been through surgeries multiple times. She is scared of going out as they are scared for her. her immunity is very low. I told the little girl that she would grow up to be a very healthy person and after small mommy chit chat we left for our houses.
Reminded me of my own fears and concerns when my premature twins were struggling for lives. Being a mother is never easy. I know when I said that she would grow up fine, there was such a light in her mother’s eyes. We all need that. I did not do anything. I just used some happy words. All the struggles are our own only. We cannot judge them on the basis of karma or they are for others. We are here for ourselves and each other too.
Speak kindly, you never know what battle the other person is fighting.
Wake up your love as this is who you are.
Atleast share kindness if nothing else.
Do not judge or pass on those comments.
Love as much as you can. It’s for yourself not for others. Giving love to others also is our need. It makes us better. It makes us think better of ourselves.
