Sweetest form of love I ever received was from my maasi and maa .. I ll not go into the romantic ones ... Some of them have been good too .... But my childhood was different from most children . My dad and mom separated from each other when we were very young . my maasi used to live with us . My maasi remained unmarried all her life due to diabetes type 1 . She used to love me the most like her own child ... My mom also gave her that liberty to address me as her own ... We grew up in difficult circumstances . Less money . My mom is a college professor in a renowned university but her salary was not that much .. still she did everything from me and my brother . Straight from waking up early in teh morning , getting us ready to dropping us then picking us ... Being upto date with our studies ... Giving us good values . I was my school topper only because I wanted to prove a point and return her for all her favours ... When I was in 7 th my maasi's heath deteriorated and she had to be shifted with my grandparents who cared for her like a small child ... As far as me and my brother were concerned we dealt it all , the taunts and cheap comments of some aunties ... But we were always very confident in our values thanks to my mother and her hard-work . She protected us , loved us like no one did ... Today both my brother and I work for Google in high positions at quite a young age me being 25 and he is 27 ... I have a loving bf , he has a loving gf ... Sometimes I wonder what would hvae happened had my mom given up .. till this date she fusses about my food and sleeping habits ... I think my whole life I have witnessed this sweet love ... She is omnipresent around me ... And so is my maasi who is no more but I really do feel and miss her presence at the same time ... Going to gurudwara almost every Sunday does remind me of her ... My mom and maasi , two of the strongest women I knew ... She taught me everything how to confident and put ur point across ... And my maasi was this sweet heart who taught me empathy ... She always believed in compassion ... Anyways ... I am not sure if this is the kind of story ppl were expecting for this question .. I have many wild adventures too 🤣🤣✌️
