Someone,For me.

I ventured out of my parents home only when I got my first job.My Dad came along with me to "settle me down" in a new city and he had to return home after he was satisfied that I had with me, all that I needed.I remember that moment vividly.Tears brimming in our eyes,but both of us not wanting to cry, he went down the stairs from my apartment.I shut the door and ran to watch him ,through the window as he walked down a busy market street.My eyes followed him till he disappeared in the crowd.

It took that moment ,for me to know what he means to me.Being able to call one among the million faces ,yours, is the most blissfull thing.

I travel often and on my return to my home I look forward to the moment when you come out of the airport and in the swarm of faces you search your own,loved one.That is the best medicine for the jetlag,the tired feet and the drained senses.I have found instant energy in the warm hug of my dear ones.I have seen children run ,jumping in their dad's arms with squeals of joy!On that note ,have you ever seen a kid not jumping,not excited.They are just so energetic.

And then I reflect on those who have no one.No one to give a warm hug,no one happy that you returned,no one looking forward to being with you again.How terrible must that be!!Loneliness can be so painful.I pray for such people.I pray they find someone who can become their caring friend,family.

Also I reflect on those that have a family and take this luxury for granted.Companionship is a lovely gift.Cherish it like Gold.
