Bapu and Yaya

Both Leos, both great. She can't walk anymore. He has diabetes now. She takes anti-depressants each day and he insulin. The wrinkles on their faces are the proof of the innumerable experiences they have had so far. She has always been the lioness and he the lion, teaching their cubs the survival technique. The smile on their faces when they see us is so comforting that it acts a painkiller for me. They've always been more understanding and open to change than our parents. When I'm unwell she'd sit by my bedside and keep comforting me past midnight. And he'd check on my temperature hour by hour. They still have the patience to take of somebody, when they themselves need care more than anybody else. He can read and write; hence he learns everyday and comforts himself. She can't read, that stops her from learning, she can't comfort herself and is not ready to listen to anybody else. She is sadder and more hurt than him. I derive courage and the thought of being on my own from her. Their love for each other is unending. He bought a car because she wanted it, things can't get more romantic than this..!! I don't know how many men from his generation would have done that. I wish to get a husband like him and wish if I could be half the woman that she is now..!! Nana and nani, I love you.
