(One of my friend's grand mom, whom she lovingly called 'ammu' from childhood Lived a low key selfless life, so much so that leaving herself possibly there was nobody in her immediate family who cared for her in the final days. ‘Ammu’ passed away a week back ...)
She lived a life that was nothing but misery
and then she decided ...she would 'sleep forever' from now on
Her ailing husband realized what a darling she had been
Her errant son finally cried
Stubborn son in law Stood speechless
Daughter stood defeated, daughter in law as if the roof over head had just gotten apart
When she lived she had lost the battle of life
But in death she won over all whom she had lost to.
Just that small girl sitting and silently weeping in the corner
Her 'ammu' was the best all the time she had lived
and now she knows her 'ammu' will never wake up again.
The old lady won it all in eventuality… but can never compensate for the 'loss' to this girl.
