A lady draped in neatly ironed white sari with black patterns, her long hair nicely plaited back, was sitting on a sofa upright, with legs crossed, face buried in her hands, deeply distressed, tears pouring out her painful heart, lost in her memories.
The above description would make anybody feel sorry for the lady but I actually ended up admiring her. Only one question kept hammering my thoughts “How can a lady be so dignified / carry herself so upright when grieving on her better half’s demise?”
I have never come across a better example to lead life or to understand what FORTITUDE means ……………
She is my aunt who has recently lost her husband, left with two children. She got retired as AGM of SBH.
I have always admired her patience, dignity, the way she carries herself, her ocean like knowledge, her polished language, her authoritative character from a distance silently.
I had been really selfish when I visited her to pay my tributes to my uncle, I’m not sure if I have wholeheartedly paid tribute to my uncle or not but I have pleaded God to shower some strength on me also to fight life.
My mom tells me that we both have been born with the same star and I ended up inheriting some her qualities.
I seriously doubt the above statement most of the times ……….
