No one is indispensable

  A few years ago, my friend had just crossed age 50. Just about 8 days later she was struck with an ailment ... And she died swiftly. In the group we received a condolence message that ..."Sad .. she is no more with us"... *RIP*  🙏 Two months later I called her husband. A thought crossed my mind ..he must be devastated as he had a travelling job. Till her death she would oversee everything.. home.. education of their children... Taking care of the aged in-laws.. their sickness.. managing relatives.. _*everything, everything, everything*_ She would express at times.." my house needs my time, .. my hubby cant even make coffee tea, my family needs me for everything, but no one cares or appreciates the efforts i put in.

Yesterday my 4 year old boy asked me 'when will i have another mum?' I said what? he replied, 'you have 3 moms, so when will I have my 2nd mum? 😍 It reminded me my daughter's conversation when she was around 4. She asked me , 'when will I have my cousin mums? She used to think everyone has one real mum and rest all are cousin mums. In photo (with my mum and two mother-in-law (one is Milan's real mum and another one is who used to take care of Milan when he was away from home (Milan/we respect them same as parents) another photo is with my grand mother-in law. we were 3 generations for 10 years. I hardly use words 'my mum or your mum in house'. In my eye, every mother is special and respected. It reflected in my kids conversation too :)
