Expectations....and disappointment...


What a week I had...life changing...why my life is ever changing...anytime I am trying to take a major step...
is it right or wrong choices am making in my life....but I don't regret any of my choice....



we got some snow too... :)





This is Dada Smile!
Here a big hug for Mamma :)

So Easter is right here....
Bringing so much memories....
My mom never let me go to any of my friends house...my mom was too protective...
My best friend was a Christian....one and only friend my mom trust for me...every Christmas and easter she will come to my home 7.30 am to take me to her house...to celebrate with her family. All the hindu festivals she will be with my family. She lives an hour away from me...but she will be in my home as early as she can.

We spent 10 wonderful years in same school, same class...then she choose history major and joined another college and i choose botany and after botany change my mind to public health.
before completing her post graduation she visited her aunt in Germany and got married to a German citizen..
I complete my PG, came to US...and married..
She had a baby 5 months before I had Serene..
still we are keeping in touch...


Hope everyone had a beautiful Sunday!

Bindi,

Some lovely pictures there, especially of your baby - she's so cute! Yes, I agree with Suze - I hope you get to go home too. It's too difficult to be away from your heartland for so long - I understand that. I hope you get there.
Take care,
Peter x

Suzanne said...

Hi Honey,

I read your comments on Suzanne's blog and just sobbed. You are such an amazing woman. I love you. Even writing this, I'm in tears and it's hard to see!!! I was so scared when she first appeared because I was worried. You know me, but now I'm not. She's in good hands. She's smart and kind and thoughful and she was wise enough to find us for support. I think she's such a sweetie-pie. She's strong and will manage to figure out her complicated life. It's so hard when parent divorce and kids are left to figure out what to do. She'll become a doctor or something equally brilliant. Thank you for your support and kind words. I know she adores you as I do. We'll all protect her. I like that. With so many Moms and Dads, how can she go wrong!!!!!????

I love you honey. I hope everything is okay. When's a good time to email? I always miss the time you suggest, but maybe this time will be right! :)

With so much love,
Your grey-haired friend!

Hello Bindi,
I am writing this comment for the second time. The first one disappeared. I found out that I was signing in when Jo wasn't signed out!:(
The photos are nice; especially the ones of Serene and Dada.. I also liked the pics of the lovely cool snow. It will be very hot here in Melbourne for the next few days :(
I hope that you get to visit home one day. How lucky you are to have such a longlasting friendship.
Easter blessings to you and the family.

Mark.
ps. Good It worked this time :)

Kookaburra said...

Hello again, Bindi,
I have just read your encouraging comment to young Suzanne. I agree with everything you have said to her because I have travelled the same road when I was growing up. My parents divorced when I was in my early teens. So, i can emphathise with what young Suzanne is going through. I hope that you don't mind that I used your blog instead of young Suzanne's to say this. But being an old bloke I thought perhaps I should say what I had to say here with someone I already know. Who knows, young Suzanne might read my thoughts here.
Mark.

bindhiya said...

Dear Suze,
You are so sweet! Yes, she show up on your place that is the best she did! As far I can see she is a smart, strong, independent, kind, compassionate young girl for her age. Nothing can put her down..She just need kind support and love...and for that she find the best place..."rose cottage" Yes, sweetie, you are a gem, anywhere you'll shine and anyone lucky will find you".
and the one's surrounding you, are a group of wonderful people...
Baby Suzanne will have all of us through her life.
for mailing today or tomorrow will be fine...weekend hopefully I will have a guest. my grandma's grand son...am so happy to have a guest :)...maybe his wife will visit us too..
and to the grey hair there is nothing wrong with color of hair, You are gorgeous and kind! one in a million! My grandma will say a person's beauty is their kindness, compassion and love...Sweetie, You have all that and you are beautiful!
I am blessed to have your friendship!
I love you to the sky!
You are in my heart always!
♥ & (((hugs)))

bindhiya said...

Dear Mark,

Sure, you are most welcome to use this place to talk to any of our friends...and baby Suzanne need all of our love and support to face this struggle.
Have a beautiful day!

I was just getting off your blog, but had to come back when something caught my eye. "Baby Suzanne!" That is too brilliant! God I love you. She's a honey-pie. We're lucky to have her. I was talking to Maithri last night and reminded him how lucky we all are.
