She arrived
from the land of sunshine and warmth of short rainy seasons that
somehow never penetrate that atmosphere enough for the cold to set
in. She lived a life taking decisions independently, directing the
lives of her children and herself to the best of her abilities. She
ensured that she gave all and more than she, herself, had received.
Then, one day, she fell hopelessly and totally in love with a soul
mate. There was no holding back. There were no questions and
definitely no doubts that this was what they called the real thing.
There was no looking back and progression had taken a leap without
any warning. She was willing to go where the weather brought the
cold and snow, where commuting took hours on end, where life was the
opposite of what she was used to…. Anything to be where she had
given her heart. It did not matter where she was as long as she was
with her loved one. All the bridges would be crossed, as sharing
would make the burden lighter. The joy of loving would warm the
coldest night and the sense of belonging could make the house a
home.
