Happy Anniversay...This day 1966.....two people who are extremely different in character, attitude and came together...today such a combination would be doomed as "not workable"..But they complement each other .......Even today they never agree on anything, their tastes are different, their attitudes to life still don't match..But they had one thing in common - their determination to make it through the ups and downs- Amma with her faith in Her and Appa with the classic MCC attitude of come what may life has to go on.
It is beautiful to watch what years of togetherness does to to people.. Their caring for each other is like a reflex action, one does not have to put effort into it. Their familiarity with each others likes dislikes, tastes in food and clothing, trivial as it may seem is seen to be believed. And now with cell phones, the grand kids today make jokes as to how many times they call each other. They are top in each others list of priorities. God Bless them with more years of togetherness..
They were strict with us when necessary but let go when we rebelled and allowed us to learn on our own. That is the legacy I am going to take forward for my kids,
As their children, we have not been "perfect kids", our share of complaints, we three have our own destinies and searches. They gave us the freedom to go look for it and always backed us up when we have not been successful.. We might have complained, we might have judged, we might have cribbed but one thing is for sure,, if we can be half as good parents to our kids as you have been to us..,we will be appreciated when we are older
