Life is Too Short and Unpredictable

I used to write a little about Ananya's crafty adventures in 'crafty thinkings of an uncrafty person'. But somewhere along the line, the blog became more of a cardmaking challenge participation blog.
I have done a lot of activities with Ananya since she was a baby. I used to talk to her a lot even though she was barely few days old. I remember, I bought panchtantra ki kahaniya when she was around 2 months. My mother thought that I was mad when I used to tell  Ananya what I am doing while cooking or cleaning. That's just a small glimpse of what we mum and daughter used to do. I took her on nature walks. We painted, danced and watched videos together.
Sadly, I didn't do much of the fun stuff with Adi. May be because at the age of 37, with back ache as my constant companion, I didn't have much energy left in me to deal with a very active toddler.

Then Adi got Gullian Barre last December. And my whole world shattered. I couldn't believe that some thing so horrifying can happen to my kid. Those days were the worst of my life. And my brave boy endured it all. He cried a lot. But never shirked from the things that we asked him to do. I remember when he was first admitted in St. Peter's, and doctors were still doing tests on him, he said ,'' Mumma, I am never going to walk again." I simply asked him to take rest. But this thought haunted me for the rest of his stay in the hospitals. I didn't dare to utter it to anyone, even my husband, because of the fear of it becoming true.

Guillian barre has taught me many things. The most important being: Life is precious. The purpose of life is to be happy.
Now I want to create happy memories with my kids.
