The story is dealt with very sensitively. I had an almost choked up feeling while reading it. Also, the 'epistolary form' of writing you chose makes it even more effective. Great writing style! Good going Archana!!! Cheers! :) An absolutely soulful piece of writing Arch! The story is dealt with very sensitively. I had an almost choked up feeling while reading it.

Its the most beautiful and trustworthy relationship that god endows, when a newborn baby is born to a couple. We can never thank parents enough for wat they do for us, they are aptly called next to God. Very well expressed and a very befitting tribute to the most wonderful part of our lives : family. it reminds me of my father n the loving relationship i share with him. girls like me, and u are blessed to have so loving and understanding parents.

Our parents, you are right, make mistakes too and learn during our upbringing. It's a first time for them as well. But do we care? Rarely! We always stand there with the measuring tape checking up their standards as ideal parents. Bible talks about God determined the times and exact places where we should live. I believe the same holds true for the kind of people (be it parents, siblings, friends and colleagues) in our lives. Yet, we tend to be 'wishy-washy', hoping for a 'better' place, time, parents, friends, etc. The letter-writing seems to be an interesting exercise that can be taken up. Who knows, many a hearts can be mended around us. The post touches almost every such aspect and, as I said, many will relate to it. Keep it up!
