In Gratitude - S7 : Paying my homage through years of my life || My Support System || By Anupama Vaidya
Series Part 7… towards my big milestone - 2021 - Golden Celebrations.
Published on Facebook: 24-Oct-2021
On this lovely relaxing Sunday, as I sit and sip my morning tea … I have been able to do so for years, all with the wonderful support system that I have had at home, to take care of the family and to help & support in taking care of the household help!
Yes, I dedicate this lovely Sunday and express my gratitude to my support system over the years, who have stood by me while I attended to the professional and personal demands …
Jaya, my maid from Andheri Days, kudos to her to be taking care of me and Ishita in my toughest phase of life before I moved to Pune. The way she took care of Ishita, like her own daughter, took care of the house front, especially being sensitive to my state of mind… ensured the house orderly every time, the way I always needed it!
Later over the many of them came in our life and the journey continued…
And as blessed we were as a family, to find three gems to become an integral part of life;
Yes, our three support pillars – Savita, Shanta and Arun Patel.
In Savita, we have a vibrant, fast paced learner who has been there through the years of Ishita’s growing and cared for her like her own little one, for her Ishita is the princess of the house and she is always there to ensure the best care for her through her lovely cooking and care of the house. Be it any festival, or any guests, I can just rely on her to be my right hand to organise and get the event across…
And the way she cared for Dad, as her own baba…. With being THE support system to Aai, to feed him, give timely medicines, nebulisation and so much of care through every action.
Savita, in you we have a wonderful and amazing daughter for life! You have grown with us and will continue to be a part of our family through our life!!!
Shanta, our strong support system, who through the years has developed a bond… infact in the most difficult phase, when I was down with Covid, dad was bed-confined, and the house was supposed to get sealed, she willingly and voluntarily stayed back with the sensitivity of the help that mom needed. Today, she is a highly dependable support, who is there everytime to be there with us…
And then we have Arun Patel, our right hand, who has through the years grown to be family, considering Aai Baba as his parents, and doing everything to take care of them, whether it was dad’s illness or any household errands that mom needs. His driving is so reliable, that I can sleep while he manages a perfectly responsible manoeuvring in Mumbai traffic or on the expressways. The synonymous word for him is "Reliable", as the wonderful care he takes while driving Ishita aroung.
Today also Ishita and me are so relaxed here at Leeds, UK with Savita, Shanta and Patel as family to take care of mom back him in my absence. Till date baba used to be there, but with his physical absence, I did not have to think twice on mom’s front, all three of them reassuringly are there ! and in gratitude to having them for life-time!
All three of them are such a great team and Mom to take care of all three of them !!!
It is a blessing to have such a support system at home. I really take this opportunity of my big milestone to acknowledge their presence in our lives and express my sincere thanks to the Almighty to provide us such a wonderful team !!!
And as my journey continues, tomorrow is surely a special day and I am looking forward to writing for tomorrow! 25-Oct....
