Family Affairs

For the last 3 weeks my son was with me and today he left back for India. This is the day that I do not like, my home suddenly feels very empty. When he is around there is something or the other happening constantly. Some times I do not like doing those extra activities :-) but then still the vibe of the home is what matters in his presence. We had a very good time during these 3 weeks along with the family holiday. Since the last few months he was also emotionally strained because of his break-up with his girlfriend and seeing him low does not make me feel very good.

Whenever he is around, we have loads of conversations on life. He practices functional medicine, so he gives me lot of knowledge on self-care and lifestyle hacks, which I enjoy listening to. It feels good when our children reach to that stage where they start teaching us. Yesterday being his last day, we went out for lunch, I wanted to treat him with his choice of food. He normally enjoys sea-food, so we went to one of the restaurants by the sea-side. It was a lovely time, though we missed clicking any pictures. He is not the photography person and always tell me, you do not need to keep clicking pictures of everything :-)

Some of his habits are also weird, both he and hubby are messy people, and that gets to my nerves. I have OCD issues and both of them are super careless with keeping their things in place, that's what annoys me the most and he enjoys it. With him I am the most mildest. If I am angry with him for anything, he will come and hug and kiss me then all my anger gets dissolved in a second. And I am sure that happens with all the Mothers. Today he is gone and I have already started feeling the void, his chatter and annoying habits, his food demands, all of this keeps me alive.

It's not long, in a month and a half I will see him again when I travel to Mumbai in end of May, till then yes I will miss him. He is a grown up man now, but for me he is still and will always be my little boy.
