It’s been twenty five years !!!!!
Time flies so fast, no?
25 years ago, parents of two
individuals decided their fate. They did abide by their parents’ decision and
tied the nuptial knot on this very day in 1987.The two individuals who never
knew each other, never met before, entered into a ‘social agreement’ or ‘partnership‘
called marriage. They said their vows, committed themselves to each other and
the journey began...
In the journey of life, walking
together, understanding each other...eventually they became the very best of
friends. We have seen the bond getting stronger with every passing day. We have
felt Maa & Papa, it’s not just the worldly relation that you share but the
bond is divine. During all these years, we have been witness to your
selflessness, devotedness, adherence and unconditional dedication towards each
other with little or no regard to personal needs and wants. You have been each
other’s inspiration, standing right by each other’s side through all times.
We wonder what God was thinking when
He planned your wedding in heaven. We wonder if He wanted to bless us with the
most wonderful parents on earth. You are everything a kid can ever wish for.
It feels so beautiful, so special, so
perfect...to be your daughters. Not many people can refer to their parents as
best friends and really mean it. Ours has been a different relationship, hard
to describe...for you both sometimes became our teachers, sometimes friends and
sometimes the sinks that absorbed all our worries. When we look into your eyes,
we know that is the purest form of love on earth.
Yet there is a marked disconnect
between our generations’ thought processes, you both always strived to keep us
connected in a carefully, affectionately knit family. On some fronts, you
taught us to be traditional and on others you became modern. You celebrated
every small accomplishment of your children...taught us how to live...instilled
in us the values and virtues.
In this journey of yours, you made us
your companions. You nourished us blissfully, watched us grow.
We pray to the almighty to bestow
upon you His choicest blessings and bless you with endless joy, everlasting
happiness and togetherness. On this special day, let us cherish the special
moments, happy thoughts and warmest memories. Maa Papa, Happy 25th wedding
anniversary. May the eternal bond you share transcend all times.
Your loving daughters
