Why is it important to be thankful?
2 months old, I was wrapped tightly in a women's arm sitting on the back seat of the car.
All I could hear was the driver asking the lady,
"Where are you taking this little one in this heavy rain, ma'am?"
but all I could see was her Pale Face and all I could feel were her Tears on my Cheek when suddenly the Car stopped.
I heard the Driver tell the Lady to Take care, as a Man in the Radio announced that the Weather was about to get more Harsher. After getting off the Cab we kept on walking in the Heavy rains with a half Broken Umbrella which somehow saved me from the Rain but I could feel the lady's body Shivering. Walking on a Silent Path, and the Rain Drops hitting the Umbrella, made me Nap a little and when I next opened my eyes I saw us entering a Convent cum Orphanage where I saw so many women touching me and repeatedly say,
"God bless you, My Child."
That Night was so long for me I just wanted to have my Sleep back. The next morning waking up with a bright Sunlight falling across my Face through the Window I felt incomplete, And Looking around I realized the Lady who brought me here seemed to be nowhere.
And so soon as I started Crying, I saw a Woman approach, dressed in something different than Normal people wearing light clothes with a unique Locket around her Neck, a type which I haven't ever seen or touched.
So as soon as she lifted me in her arms and Cuddled with me that's when I realized what I had been missing the most. I missed the warmth, I missed how the heartbeats I was listening to were not syncing with the rhythm of mine.
Hours passed days and days passed months I turned 5 months and then one day while playing in the garden with a Sister, I saw 2 people Smiling all the way as they came near me and as soon as they reached me, the Naw Lady saw me longingly, and then she lifted me up in her Arms.
She pulled me closer to her chest as I felt a similar warmth and then quickly I looked up into her shining eyes as if they were asking me to never go out of her sight.
And that was when I was taken to a new place. I travelled a lot.
I saw so many big mountains, rivers, and bridges on my way to the New Place
My home.
I still remember the day when I entered my house, it was decorated with balloons and lights and other kinds of stuff, and as I looked around everyone seemed so happy as if they were waiting just for me.
Each one of them wanted to hold me at least once and give a peck of love on my cheeks.
It's been 19 years now since I walked into a new place which feels like a Heaven to me, though People call it a Home, and It's been 12 years since I've lost the woman who brought me to this Heaven. Although, she didn't give birth to me but did a lot more than that in those seven years of us being together.
She raised me to the Woman I am today,
She raised me to Spread Love,
She raised me to be Someone who would always Help the Needy,
She raised me to the Woman I am Today
Strong, Independent and Never Ashamed at being a Girl.
So Ask Yourself is it Important to be thankful?
Or, Is it okay to be Ungrateful?
Is it okay to Stay Ungrateful?
Ask yourself, Is it Okay to be Everything but not Thankful?
