The reason i like your blog is the uncanny similarilty of things happening in your life and mine. We are two sisters, my father worked in a bank all his life, we had transfers every few years, i too have a niece and my father retired 2 months back!! (it is another thing that he started working again, 15days after retirement, to not drive my mum crazy and is now too busy to even pick up calls)But the biggest similarity is you always seem to be the always-on-your-toes person, while i am a lazy bum most of the time. But i must say that you have inspired me many a times to get out bed and do something(esp the fitness part)!..keep writing, keep inspiring!!anN-serieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16704955229068129565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10064462.post-21576288297978615822009-07-04T12:46:41.049+08:002009-07-04T12:46:41.049+08:00There are times when i just sit back n think about...There are times when i just sit back n think about my parents, how they gave up so much to give us watever we've ever wanted, beared all our tantrums n stuff... and now when they r growing old, i feel sad tat i'm so far away from them... i wish i could be there now with them and take care of them just the way they took care of us when we were younger... <br />Your post moistened my eyes...Shraddhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10053972027301302832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10064462.post-52721370436817574782009-07-04T12:09:00.452+08:002009-07-04T12:09:00.452+08:00It is still about 10 years before my Papa will be ...It is still about 10 years before my Papa will be retired from his job... but reading your blog has already got me worried about him.. and more worried about Mom. :P<br />He doesn't ask for remote or glass of water...but the other way round.. when he is home, he keeps poking his nose in every little issue and drive everyone crazy.
