Good companionship

Oct 21 1996

28 yrs ago I got engaged to this man I hardly knew and I was not ready for it .

Literally,  the only fact that I admired was that  he is a self made man who came up from a village and accomplished the most difficult exam . 

Very reluctantly and not knowing much about civil services and this man We got engaged and I moved away from my state, my family with this man to a completely different world .

I already was traumatised due to my father’s death a year ago and was not in a good place to start this journey.

I came to Punjab to a new place, new people and except him I didn’t know anyone .

We made a family, we listened to each other, understood each other with respect and trust and made a beautiful family .

We had our own struggles, fights but we were never disrespectful to each other .

We both wanted good for each other and we never thought of any win or loss as an Individual one rather it was always our loss or our gain.

Looking back, only Gratitude comes to my mind and heart for this relationship.

It  is still hard some days and we still have our own opinions and disagreements but we have each other no matter what , that is what matters in the end .

I wish both my boys great companionships as life becomes easy inspite of all its harsh realities.
